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 -8b + 5b = 7b + 2y + 7 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{3}{17}\)y + \(\frac{1}{17}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{13}\)y - \(\frac{8}{13}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\)y - \(\frac{7}{15}\) | |
| y + 3 |
