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 3a + 3a = -7a + 5y - 2 for a in terms of y.
| \(\frac{5}{8}\)y + \(\frac{5}{8}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{5}\)y + 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\)y - \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| y - \(\frac{4}{9}\) |
