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 = -9a - 6y - 1 for a in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{3}{17}\)y - \(\frac{1}{17}\) | |
| -4y + 5 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{17}\)y + \(\frac{5}{17}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{3}{10}\)y - \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
