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 + 5b = -2b - 9y + 3 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{1}{9}\)y - \(\frac{8}{9}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{7}\)y - \(\frac{3}{7}\) | |
| y - 9 | |
| -1\(\frac{5}{9}\)y + \(\frac{1}{3}\) |
