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 -4a - 2a = 5a - 4y - 6 for a in terms of y.
| \(\frac{5}{7}\)y - \(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{6}\)y - \(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{9}\)y + \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{10}{11}\)y - \(\frac{3}{11}\) |
