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 + 6a = -4a - 5x + 2 for a in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{11}{12}\)x + \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{7}\)x + 1 |
