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 -8a + 6a = 4a - 7x - 5 for a in terms of x.
| 1\(\frac{1}{12}\)x + \(\frac{5}{12}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{5}\)x + \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{10}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -4x - \(\frac{1}{3}\) |
