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 + 6b = 9b + 9y - 1 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{4}\)y + \(\frac{1}{12}\) | |
| -4y + 3 | |
| \(\frac{5}{9}\)y + \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| y + 3 |
