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 3b - b = -9b - 5y + 9 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{1}{12}\)y + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)y - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -5y - 6 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + \(\frac{3}{4}\) |
