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 6a + a = 2a - 5x - 2 for a in terms of x.
| 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)x - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{17}\)x + \(\frac{7}{17}\) |
