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