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 -b - 7b = -2b + 9y + 2 for b in terms of y.
| y - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| -y - 6 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{7}{10}\) | |
| 16y + 2 |
