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 + 2b = -9b + z - 6 for b in terms of z.
| \(\frac{4}{9}\)z - \(\frac{4}{9}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{17}\)z - \(\frac{6}{17}\) | |
| -14z + 8 | |
| z - 4 |
