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