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