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 + 2b = 3b - 6y + 5 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)y - \(\frac{5}{12}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{9}\)y + \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{7}{13}\)y - \(\frac{1}{13}\) | |
| y - 9 |
