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