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 - 9a = -9a + 3y - 3 for a in terms of y.
| \(\frac{6}{7}\)y - \(\frac{3}{14}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{8}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -y - \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)y - \(\frac{5}{8}\) |
