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 - 8b = 5b + 7y + 1 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{5}\)y - \(\frac{2}{15}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{9}\)y + \(\frac{4}{9}\) | |
| 7y + 2 | |
| -3\(\frac{3}{4}\)y - \(\frac{1}{4}\) |
