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