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 -7b - 8b = -3b + 6z - 1 for b in terms of z.
| -3\(\frac{1}{2}\)z + \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| z - \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{5}{14}\)z - \(\frac{9}{14}\) | |
| 2z + 2 |
