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