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