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 -4c - 8c = 2c + 5x - 3 for c in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)x - 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{14}\)x + \(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| -2\(\frac{1}{6}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -10x + 1 |
