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 + 3a = -5a + 2z - 3 for a in terms of z.
| -\(\frac{1}{11}\)z - \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| z - \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{8}\)z - \(\frac{3}{8}\) | |
| -8z - 1 |
