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 -8b + 4b = -2b + 7y + 8 for b in terms of y.
| 3y + 7 | |
| -6y - 2 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{9}{11}\)y - \(\frac{8}{11}\) |
