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 b - 5b = 9b - 8y - 8 for b in terms of y.
| -3y - 4 | |
| \(\frac{6}{13}\)y - \(\frac{3}{13}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{5}\)y - \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{8}\)y + 1 |
