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