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 -5c - 2c = 4c + 3x + 6 for c in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{5}{9}\)x - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -9x + 4 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{13}\)x + \(\frac{2}{13}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{4}{13}\)x - \(\frac{8}{13}\) |
