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 6a + 8a = -2a + 8x + 6 for a in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{2}{7}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{7}{16}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| x + \(\frac{3}{4}\) |
