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 - 8b = 6b - 6z + 7 for b in terms of z.
| \(\frac{5}{14}\)z + \(\frac{3}{7}\) | |
| -2z - 7 | |
| \(\frac{2}{7}\)z - \(\frac{3}{14}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{8}\)z - \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
