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 -8a + 4a = a - y + 3 for a in terms of y.
| \(\frac{5}{9}\)y - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -7y + 4 | |
| 8y - 1 | |
| y - \(\frac{2}{15}\) |
