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 8a - 6a = -4a - 4y - 5 for a in terms of y.
| -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)y + 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{6}\)y - \(\frac{5}{12}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)y - 3 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
