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 - 9b = -4b - 8z - 3 for b in terms of z.
| -\(\frac{4}{11}\)z - \(\frac{8}{11}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{4}\)z + \(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{11}\)z - \(\frac{2}{11}\) | |
| 4\(\frac{1}{3}\)z + 2 |
