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