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