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 -b + 5b = 4b + 2y - 4 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{8}{9}\)y + \(\frac{8}{9}\) | |
| 3y - 5 | |
| \(\frac{3}{5}\)y + \(\frac{4}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{17}\)y - \(\frac{3}{17}\) |
