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 3a + 5a = -5a + 6x - 3 for a in terms of x.
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -9x - 9 | |
| \(\frac{1}{8}\)x - \(\frac{3}{8}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)x - \(\frac{1}{5}\) |
