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 5a - 6a = -5a + x + 8 for a in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{8}\)x + \(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{7}{10}\)x + \(\frac{4}{5}\) |
