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 4a + 3a = -4a - 6y - 6 for a in terms of y.
| 2y - 1\(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{8}\)y - \(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{12}\)y - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{8}{11}\)y - \(\frac{8}{11}\) |
