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 = -b - 4y - 6 for b in terms of y.
| y + 6 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{11}\)y - \(\frac{2}{11}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{3}\)y + 2 | |
| 4y - 5 |
