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 - 5c = 7c - 7x - 3 for c in terms of x.
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4 | |
\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
14x - 4 | |
-\(\frac{3}{5}\)x - 1\(\frac{2}{5}\) |
