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 5c + 9c = 4c + x - 3 for c in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{2}{5}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{8}{11}\)x + \(\frac{2}{11}\) | |
| 5x + 8 | |
| -8x - 3 |
