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 -c - 4c = 2c - 4y - 3 for c in terms of y.
| y + 1 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| -17y + 4 | |
| y - 3 |
