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 - 5c = 5c + 4y - 4 for c in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{9}{11}\)y + \(\frac{4}{11}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{8}\)y + \(\frac{1}{16}\) | |
| -8y - 3 | |
| -7\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
