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