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 6a - 6a = -8a - 7y - 5 for a in terms of y.
| 2\(\frac{1}{8}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| 11y - 7 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{10}\)y - \(\frac{9}{10}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{14}\)y - \(\frac{5}{14}\) |
