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 -6b + 5b = 4b + 4y + 1 for b in terms of y.
| -6y - 8 | |
| -1\(\frac{3}{8}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{5}{8}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{10}\)y - \(\frac{1}{10}\) |
