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 = 7b + 8z + 5 for b in terms of z.
| -\(\frac{14}{15}\)z - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 4z + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{6}\)z + \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{4}\)z - \(\frac{5}{8}\) |
