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 -5b - 8b = -2b + 4y + 8 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{1}{5}\)y + \(\frac{1}{10}\) | |
| -\(\frac{4}{5}\)y + \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| 3y - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -4y - 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) |
