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 a - 2a = -4a - 5x - 8 for a in terms of x.
| \(\frac{4}{11}\)x - \(\frac{7}{11}\) | |
| x - 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{4}\)x + \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{5}\)x - 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) |
