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 + 3b = -8b - 5y - 3 for b in terms of y.
| y - \(\frac{1}{9}\) | |
| -8y - 3 | |
| \(\frac{7}{18}\)y + \(\frac{7}{18}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{14}\)y + \(\frac{4}{7}\) |
