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 = -5a - 4x + 6 for a in terms of x.
| -8x - 1 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4 | |
| -5\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{11}\)x + \(\frac{6}{11}\) |
