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 -5c - 3c = 6c + 2x + 8 for c in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{5}{11}\)x - \(\frac{8}{11}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\)x + 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{4}\)x + 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{9}\)x - \(\frac{7}{9}\) |
