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