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 + 3a = 9a + x - 5 for a in terms of x.
| \(\frac{1}{6}\)x + \(\frac{5}{12}\) | |
| -\(\frac{4}{5}\)x + \(\frac{7}{10}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{11}\)x - \(\frac{6}{11}\) |
