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 6b - 7b = 5b + 8y + 3 for b in terms of y.
| 3y + 5 | |
| y + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{8}\)y - \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 15y + 3 |
