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 -3b - 2b = b - 9z - 3 for b in terms of z.
| -11z - 4 | |
| 1\(\frac{4}{7}\)z - 1\(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| \(\frac{11}{17}\)z - \(\frac{4}{17}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{3}{4}\)z + \(\frac{3}{4}\) |
