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 -c - 5c = 2c + y - 8 for c in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{5}{8}\)y - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 3\(\frac{4}{5}\)y + \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| -2y + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{11}\)y - \(\frac{4}{11}\) |
