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 - 8b = -3b - 5y - 3 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{3}{10}\)y - \(\frac{3}{10}\) | |
| -\(\frac{7}{15}\)y + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{14}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -5y + 7 |
