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 -5c - 8c = -3c - 2y - 2 for c in terms of y.
| -3y + 1 | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{6}{7}\)y + \(\frac{3}{14}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 1 |
