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 -3b + 8b = -4b + 4y + 1 for b in terms of y.
| -1\(\frac{1}{9}\)y + \(\frac{2}{9}\) | |
| -4y + 1 | |
| y + \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)y + 1 |
