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 - 3b = 4b + 6y + 5 for b in terms of y.
| -4\(\frac{1}{4}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{7}\)y - \(\frac{3}{14}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{5}{6}\)y + \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -3y - 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) |
