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 8c - 5c = -c + x + 5 for c in terms of x.
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{5}{9}\) | |
| 17x - 8 | |
| \(\frac{2}{5}\)x - \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{5}{9}\)x - \(\frac{1}{9}\) |
