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 -6b - 5b = -8b + 7z + 6 for b in terms of z.
| 6z + 3 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{17}\)z + \(\frac{9}{17}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{15}\)z - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 3z + 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) |
