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 -2c - 7c = -5c + 8z + 2 for c in terms of z.
| z - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 5z + \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -z + \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)z + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
