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 - 5a = -6a + 7x - 3 for a in terms of x.
| -x - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 6x - 8 | |
| -2x + \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| 6x - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
