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