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 2b - 5b = 8b - 9z - 2 for b in terms of z.
| 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)z - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)z + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{11}\)z + \(\frac{3}{11}\) | |
| z + \(\frac{9}{10}\) |
