When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
Solve b - 2b = -7b + 3y + 3 for b in terms of y.
| 9y + 3 | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)y - 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{8}\)y + \(\frac{3}{8}\) |
