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 5a - 3a = 4a + 5y + 1 for a in terms of y.
| y + 2 | |
| 8y + 1 | |
| 10y + 2 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
