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 -2a + 3a = -8a + y + 2 for a in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{11}\)y + \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + 2 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{14}\)y - \(\frac{4}{7}\) |
