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 7b + 7b = -7b - 5y - 1 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{8}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| -7y + 3 | |
| -\(\frac{6}{7}\)y - \(\frac{1}{14}\) | |
| 11y - 6 |
