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 6c + 8c = 5c - y - 5 for c in terms of y.
| -9y - 5 | |
| \(\frac{7}{8}\)y + \(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| 5\(\frac{2}{3}\)y - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{12}{13}\)y - \(\frac{9}{13}\) |
