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 - 2b = -2b - y + 8 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 4 | |
| 12y + 1 | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)y - 3 | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
