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