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 -2c - 5c = -6c - 7x - 8 for c in terms of x.
| 14x + 8 | |
| x - \(\frac{6}{13}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2 | |
| -7x - 8 |
