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 9b - 2b = -8b + 3y + 2 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -3y + 2 | |
| \(\frac{5}{17}\)y + \(\frac{2}{17}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{6}\)y - \(\frac{1}{3}\) |
