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 -8b + 6b = 5b + z - 8 for b in terms of z.
| -\(\frac{8}{9}\)z + 1 | |
| -2z - 1 | |
| \(\frac{5}{13}\)z + \(\frac{8}{13}\) | |
| -\(\frac{12}{13}\)z + \(\frac{4}{13}\) |
