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