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 - 3b = 8b + 2y - 5 for b in terms of y.
| -1\(\frac{5}{6}\)y + \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{12}\)y + \(\frac{5}{12}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{13}\)y + \(\frac{6}{13}\) | |
| -\(\frac{6}{7}\)y + 1\(\frac{2}{7}\) |
