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 -6b - 2b = -4b + 8y - 5 for b in terms of y.
| 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)y + 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -2\(\frac{3}{4}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| -8y - 2 | |
| -5y + 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
