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 -5a - 3a = 5a - 9x - 1 for a in terms of x.
| \(\frac{3}{5}\)x + \(\frac{1}{10}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)x + \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{9}{14}\)x + \(\frac{4}{7}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{4}{11}\)x - \(\frac{6}{11}\) |
