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 5a + 9a = -6a - 5y - 6 for a in terms of y.
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
-\(\frac{3}{4}\)y - 1 | |
-1\(\frac{3}{11}\)y - \(\frac{6}{11}\) | |
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) |
