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