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 -8b - 2b = 3b - z - 2 for b in terms of z.
| -\(\frac{1}{11}\)z + \(\frac{2}{11}\) | |
| 10z + 1 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)z + 1\(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{15}\)z + \(\frac{1}{5}\) |
