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 -8a + 6a = -7a - 5y + 6 for a in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{6}{17}\)y + \(\frac{4}{17}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 11y - 6 | |
| \(\frac{3}{8}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{8}\) |
