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 -8b - b = 9b - 2y - 8 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 1 | |
| \(\frac{1}{17}\)y + \(\frac{8}{17}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{9}\)y + \(\frac{7}{9}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{6}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
