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 -2b - 3b = -9b + 2y + 3 for b in terms of y.
| 14y - 9 | |
| 3y - \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -2\(\frac{1}{5}\)y - 1\(\frac{4}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{7}\)y + \(\frac{3}{7}\) |
