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 - 3a = -5a + 5x - 5 for a in terms of x.
| \(\frac{4}{7}\)x - \(\frac{5}{14}\) | |
| -x - \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1 | |
| \(\frac{1}{9}\)x + \(\frac{2}{3}\) |
