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 -6a - 7a = 2a + 5x + 3 for a in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{13}{15}\)x + \(\frac{4}{15}\) | |
| 8x - 2 | |
| x + 2 | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - \(\frac{3}{8}\) |
