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 6a - 6a = -5a - 2z - 3 for a in terms of z.
| \(\frac{4}{11}\)z - \(\frac{3}{11}\) | |
| -4z + 4 | |
| \(\frac{1}{17}\)z - \(\frac{1}{17}\) | |
| \(\frac{4}{9}\)z + \(\frac{8}{9}\) |
