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 3c - 3c = -8c - 5x + 2 for c in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -10x - 5 | |
| -\(\frac{2}{11}\)x + \(\frac{2}{11}\) |
