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