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 b - 5b = 6b + 2y + 2 for b in terms of y.
| 2y + 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)y - \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{5}{7}\)y + 1\(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{17}\)y + \(\frac{7}{17}\) |
