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 -4b - 6b = 3b - 5z - 6 for b in terms of z.
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)z + \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -\(\frac{7}{12}\)z - \(\frac{5}{12}\) | |
| -10z + 5 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{7}\)z + \(\frac{6}{7}\) |
