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 - 2b = 8b + 3y - 6 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{15}\)y + \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| -2\(\frac{2}{7}\)y + \(\frac{4}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{9}\)y - 1 |
