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