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