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 -8c - 6c = -3c - 3x - 8 for c in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{7}{10}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -8\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{5}\)x + 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) |
