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 -8c - 3c = 9c - y - 5 for c in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{2}{17}\)y + \(\frac{5}{17}\) | |
| -\(\frac{4}{5}\)y - 1 | |
| \(\frac{2}{5}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{5}\)y - \(\frac{2}{5}\) |
