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 -5b - 3b = 6b + 6y - 1 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{1}{11}\)y - \(\frac{8}{11}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{9}{11}\)y + \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{7}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{7}\) |
