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 = 4b - 3z - 6 for b in terms of z.
| 6z - 2 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{12}\)z + \(\frac{1}{12}\) | |
| -13z - 4 | |
| \(\frac{1}{7}\)z + \(\frac{6}{7}\) |
