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 - 5b = -8b - 8y - 4 for b in terms of y.
| 7y + 2 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)y - 1 | |
| -3y + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{11}\)y - \(\frac{1}{11}\) |
