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 b + 5b = 6b + 7y - 1 for b in terms of y.
| -y + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -3y + 4 | |
| -\(\frac{2}{13}\)y + \(\frac{4}{13}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{5}\)y + \(\frac{1}{5}\) |
