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