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