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 = -3a + 2x - 1 for a in terms of x.
| -1\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 1 | |
| x - \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{7}{10}\)x - \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{11}\)x - \(\frac{9}{11}\) |
