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