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 + 8b = 6b - 2y - 5 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{5}{6}\)y + \(\frac{5}{12}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{5}\)y + \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| y - 2 | |
| \(\frac{5}{9}\)y - \(\frac{2}{3}\) |
