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 - 7c = 5c + 8x + 3 for c in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - \(\frac{1}{9}\) | |
| x + 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{13}\)x - \(\frac{3}{13}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{5}{8}\)x - \(\frac{1}{8}\) |
