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 -4a - 3a = -5a + 5x + 3 for a in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{12}\)x - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| 8x + 3 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)x - 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{11}\)x - \(\frac{2}{11}\) |
