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 -b - 5b = 8b + z - 4 for b in terms of z.
| \(\frac{1}{12}\)z + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{7}\)z - \(\frac{5}{14}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{3}\)z + \(\frac{4}{9}\) | |
| -z + 3 |
