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 -5b - 2b = 9b - 9y + 3 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{7}{13}\)y + \(\frac{9}{13}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{7}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{3}{14}\) | |
| y + \(\frac{1}{13}\) |
