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 - 5b = 5b + y + 8 for b in terms of y.
| 1\(\frac{1}{7}\)y - 1 | |
| \(\frac{6}{17}\)y + \(\frac{1}{17}\) | |
| -y - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)y + \(\frac{3}{5}\) |
