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