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 - 2b = 7b + 7y - 5 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{3}{5}\)y - 1 | |
| \(\frac{5}{18}\)y + \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -\(\frac{9}{10}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)y - \(\frac{7}{12}\) |
