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 9b - 9b = -3b - 6y - 2 for b in terms of y.
| 3y - 2 | |
| -4\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| 3y + 3 | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\)y - \(\frac{1}{6}\) |
