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