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 = -4b + 2y - 8 for b in terms of y.
| 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)y - 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -y + 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)y - \(\frac{4}{9}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{8}\)y - 1 |
