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 - 3b = -7b + y + 9 for b in terms of y.
| 3y - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 10y - 2 | |
| -\(\frac{6}{11}\)y - \(\frac{5}{11}\) | |
| 2y + 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
