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 9b - 7b = 8b + 8y - 6 for b in terms of y.
| 15y - 6 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{11}\)y + \(\frac{6}{11}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{3}\)y - \(\frac{7}{12}\) | |
| y - 1\(\frac{2}{7}\) |
