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 - 2a = -3a + 9x + 2 for a in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{2}{7}\)x - \(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| 4x - 3 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{8}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -3\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - \(\frac{2}{3}\) |
