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