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 -5b - 6b = 5b + 9y - 6 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{7}{16}\)y - \(\frac{3}{8}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{15}\)y - \(\frac{1}{3}\) |
