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 3a - 2a = 6a + 3x - 1 for a in terms of x.
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{9}\)x + \(\frac{8}{9}\) | |
| x - \(\frac{3}{13}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\) |
