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 + 6b = -6b + y - 5 for b in terms of y.
| -1\(\frac{1}{4}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 4y - 3 | |
| 10y - 1 | |
| y + 1\(\frac{2}{5}\) |
