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 -6a - 5a = 5a - y - 6 for a in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{4}{11}\)y + \(\frac{6}{11}\) | |
| -4\(\frac{2}{3}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{8}\)y + \(\frac{5}{8}\) | |
| -\(\frac{6}{11}\)y - \(\frac{3}{11}\) |
