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