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 = -5b - 2y - 5 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{12}\)y - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{11}\)y - \(\frac{5}{11}\) | |
| y + 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{6}\) |
