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 6a + 8a = 7a - 9y - 7 for a in terms of y.
| \(\frac{1}{11}\)y - \(\frac{5}{11}\) | |
| 17y + 7 | |
| y - 2 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)y - \(\frac{1}{4}\) |
