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 -4c - c = 5c + 2y - 2 for c in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + \(\frac{2}{9}\) | |
| -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| y + \(\frac{9}{17}\) | |
| \(\frac{10}{11}\)y - \(\frac{7}{11}\) |
