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 -4b + 2b = -8b - 6y + 5 for b in terms of y.
| -2y + 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| y - 1 | |
| \(\frac{6}{13}\)y + \(\frac{1}{13}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
