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 6a + 8a = -3a - 2x - 1 for a in terms of x.
| 2x + \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{11}\)x - \(\frac{3}{11}\) | |
| -\(\frac{4}{5}\)x - \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{9}\)x - \(\frac{1}{9}\) |
