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 - 4a = -7a + 5x - 2 for a in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{3}{17}\)x + \(\frac{7}{17}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 9x - 2 |
