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 -6b - 8b = -5b - 7y - 2 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{3}{14}\)y + \(\frac{1}{14}\) | |
| -10y + 5 | |
| -y + 2 | |
| -1\(\frac{3}{5}\)y + \(\frac{4}{5}\) |
