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 -4b + 6b = 9b - 3y - 5 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{6}\)y + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{6}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)y - 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{9}{13}\)y + \(\frac{5}{13}\) |
