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 - 5a = -9a + 3y - 6 for a in terms of y.
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{7}{12}\) | |
| \(\frac{8}{17}\)y - \(\frac{6}{17}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)y + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{4}{15}\)y + \(\frac{2}{5}\) |
