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 -5b + b = -6b - 3z - 3 for b in terms of z.
| -4z - 3 | |
| z - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{12}\)z - \(\frac{1}{12}\) | |
| z + 7 |
