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 -5c - 5c = 7c - 8y - 2 for c in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{6}{11}\)y - \(\frac{2}{11}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\)y + \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{11}\)y - \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)y + 1 |
