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 -c - 8c = -2c - 6z - 5 for c in terms of z.
| z - \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| 2z - 5 | |
| -2z - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 12z + 5 |
