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 8c - 7c = 3c - x - 5 for c in terms of x.
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - 3 | |
| 2x - 1 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)x - 1 |
