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 9c + c = 8c - 3x - 5 for c in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{8}\)x - \(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| 3x + 2 | |
| -4x - 5 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{4}\)x - \(\frac{7}{16}\) |
