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