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 - 2a = -8a - 3x + 6 for a in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{4}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{10}\)x - \(\frac{4}{5}\) | |
| 3x - \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| 7x - 2 |
