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 -2b + 9b = -7b + 6y - 5 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{3}{5}\)y - 1 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{8}\)y - \(\frac{5}{8}\) | |
| -y - \(\frac{2}{11}\) | |
| y - \(\frac{5}{16}\) |
