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 + 8b = 5b - y + 5 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{3}{11}\)y - \(\frac{9}{11}\) | |
| -y - 6 | |
| \(\frac{3}{13}\)y - \(\frac{5}{13}\) | |
| 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
