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 9b + 6b = -8b - 5y - 8 for b in terms of y.
| -10y - 3 | |
| 1\(\frac{3}{10}\)y - \(\frac{1}{10}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{3}{5}\)y + \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{11}{17}\)y - \(\frac{8}{17}\) |
