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 6a + 2a = -9a - 6y - 5 for a in terms of y.
| y + \(\frac{4}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{8}{15}\)y - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -6y + 5 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{15}\)y - \(\frac{1}{5}\) |
