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 8b + 9b = 6b + 8y - 3 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{5}\)y + \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| -2\(\frac{1}{5}\)y + \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| 4y + 2 |
