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 - 2b = -4b + y - 1 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{3}{5}\)y - \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| 2y + 2 | |
| 3y - 1 | |
| \(\frac{3}{13}\)y + \(\frac{8}{13}\) |
