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