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 - 3a = -3a - 9y + 1 for a in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{6}{11}\)y + \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{11}\)y + \(\frac{4}{11}\) | |
| \(\frac{8}{9}\)y - \(\frac{2}{9}\) |
