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