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 -3c - 5c = -6c - y - 8 for c in terms of y.
| -10y - 9 | |
| -\(\frac{9}{13}\)y - \(\frac{8}{13}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)y - 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -4\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 2 |
