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 9a - 5a = -3a - 3y - 8 for a in terms of y.
| \(\frac{15}{17}\)y + \(\frac{1}{17}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)y - 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{6}\)y - \(\frac{2}{3}\) |
