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 -4b - 6b = -5b - 4y - 5 for b in terms of y.
| 2y - 5 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{9}\)y - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{13}\)y - \(\frac{6}{13}\) | |
| -y - \(\frac{5}{8}\) |
