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