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 7b - b = -6b + 7y + 2 for b in terms of y.
| 5\(\frac{1}{3}\)y - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{5}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| y - 3 | |
| \(\frac{8}{13}\)y + \(\frac{2}{13}\) |
