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 + 9b = -5b - 8y - 3 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{7}\)y - \(\frac{6}{7}\) | |
| -2y + 3 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{16}\)y + \(\frac{3}{8}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{4}{13}\)y - \(\frac{3}{13}\) |
