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 -3b + 5b = 2b + 9y + 8 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{4}{5}\)y - 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| 3y - 6 | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\)y + \(\frac{7}{10}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{6}\)y + \(\frac{2}{3}\) |
