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