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 - b = -b - 8y + 2 for b in terms of y.
| -3\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -4y - 2 | |
| -y + \(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| y + \(\frac{6}{13}\) |
