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 a - 2a = -8a + 6x + 6 for a in terms of x.
| -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4 | |
| \(\frac{2}{11}\)x + \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| \(\frac{8}{9}\)x + \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{7}\)x - \(\frac{5}{7}\) |
