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 + 5b = -2b + 8y + 7 for b in terms of y.
| 3y + 9 | |
| 5y + 6 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -y + \(\frac{7}{11}\) |
