-8=2-4y
-10=-4y
y=5/2 or 2 1/2 or 2.5
The answer I got was x= 21/2
A is independent while b is dependent.
This is because b is equal to a decreased by 2. Anytime a changes, then b does as well. B can only change in accordance with a.
Assuming your solving for y:
py+7=6y+q
-6y -7 -6y -7
(p-6)y = q-7
divide both sides by p-6
y=(q-7)/(p-6)
