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 8a + 2a = -8a + 6x + 3 for a in terms of x.
| 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)x - 2 | |
| -2x - 2 | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\)x + \(\frac{3}{16}\) | |
| x - 1\(\frac{1}{6}\) |
