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 -9a + 6a = 8a + 9x - 5 for a in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{3}{17}\)x + \(\frac{5}{17}\) | |
| -14x - 5 | |
| \(\frac{1}{15}\)x + \(\frac{1}{15}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{10}\)x + \(\frac{3}{5}\) |
