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 + 3b = -3b + 8y + 2 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{5}{8}\)y + \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 2y + 1\(\frac{4}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{18}\)y + \(\frac{4}{9}\) | |
| y - 1 |
