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