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