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 -9c - 6c = -3c - 5y + 5 for c in terms of y.
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)y - \(\frac{5}{9}\) | |
| -6y + 1 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{6}\)y - \(\frac{5}{6}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{16}\)y - \(\frac{5}{16}\) |
