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 -3a + 5a = -5a + 9x - 1 for a in terms of x.
| 2x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{11}{13}\)x - \(\frac{3}{13}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)x + \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{4}{11}\)x - \(\frac{4}{11}\) |
