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 - 3a = -7a + 4x - 5 for a in terms of x.
| 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - \(\frac{5}{6}\) | |
| 11x - 7 | |
| -6x + 8 | |
| x + 5 |
