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 - 7c = -c + 5x - 3 for c in terms of x.
| 4x - 1 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{13}\)x - \(\frac{9}{13}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\) |
