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 b - 7b = 4b + 5y - 8 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{5}{11}\)y - \(\frac{3}{11}\) | |
| -4y + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -5y - 4 | |
| \(\frac{5}{8}\)y - 1 |
