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 + 3b = 2b - 6y - 3 for b in terms of y.
| -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 14y + 6 | |
| 5\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 3 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{5}{8}\) |
