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 a + 4a = -4a + 4x + 2 for a in terms of x.
| \(\frac{1}{13}\)x - \(\frac{5}{13}\) | |
| 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{4}{5}\)x + \(\frac{4}{5}\) | |
| x + \(\frac{2}{5}\) |
