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