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 -3c - 4c = 8c + 3z + 1 for c in terms of z.
| -\(\frac{7}{11}\)z - \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| -17z - 7 | |
| \(\frac{1}{6}\)z - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)z - 1\(\frac{3}{4}\) |
