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