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