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 -9a + 8a = -6a + 4x + 5 for a in terms of x.
| x + \(\frac{3}{10}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{5}{6}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{15}{16}\)x + \(\frac{3}{16}\) |
