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 - 2a = -a - x - 6 for a in terms of x.
| \(\frac{5}{18}\)x - \(\frac{4}{9}\) | |
| -3x + 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{4}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3 |
