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 -6b + 8b = -7b - 7y + 4 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{14}\)y + \(\frac{1}{14}\) | |
| -15y + 4 | |
| \(\frac{3}{17}\)y + \(\frac{1}{17}\) |
