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 5a - 2a = -6a - 7y + 1 for a in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{5}{11}\)y + \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)y - 1 | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{18}\)y + \(\frac{1}{9}\) |
