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