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 - 3b = -2b + 2y - 1 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{1}{11}\)y - \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| y - \(\frac{4}{13}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{7}\)y + \(\frac{3}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{6}\)y + \(\frac{1}{6}\) |
