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