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 -5a - a = 6a + 3z + 2 for a in terms of z.
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)z + \(\frac{5}{9}\) | |
| z + 1 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)z + \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{4}{11}\)z - \(\frac{2}{11}\) |
