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 -9b - 6b = -8b + 2z + 8 for b in terms of z.
| -2z - \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{11}\)z + \(\frac{7}{11}\) | |
| -10z + 8 | |
| -8z - 8 |
