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 = 2a - 3x + 2 for a in terms of x.
| -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{11}\)x + \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| -\(\frac{7}{8}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| -2\(\frac{3}{4}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
