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 5b - 3b = 8b - z - 8 for b in terms of z.
| 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)z + \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{3}\)z + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| 3\(\frac{2}{3}\)z - 3 | |
| 13z + 9 |
