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 - 2x + 5 for c in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 2 | |
| \(\frac{7}{11}\)x - \(\frac{5}{11}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{5}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -19x - 1 |
