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