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 9b + b = -3b - 4y - 8 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{5}{12}\)y - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + \(\frac{8}{9}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{5}{8}\)y + 1 | |
| -6y + 4 |
