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 -5a - 5a = -6a - 6y + 8 for a in terms of y.
| 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 3 | |
| -11y + 1 | |
| -y + 8 | |
| \(\frac{3}{8}\)y + \(\frac{9}{16}\) |
