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 -4b - 2b = -9b - 3z + 3 for b in terms of z.
| z + 4 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{5}\)z + \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)z + \(\frac{5}{9}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{16}\)z - \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
