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 5c - 8c = -8c - 8z - 3 for c in terms of z.
| -2z + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -3\(\frac{2}{3}\)z - 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| z - \(\frac{3}{13}\) | |
| z + 1\(\frac{2}{5}\) |
