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