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 -9b + 5b = -5b - 8y - 7 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{4}{11}\)y - \(\frac{4}{11}\) | |
| 3\(\frac{1}{4}\)y + 1\(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| 3y + 3 | |
| y - 8 |
