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 - 3b = -7b - z - 3 for b in terms of z.
| -\(\frac{12}{13}\)z - \(\frac{6}{13}\) | |
| z - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -2z + 3 | |
| -\(\frac{2}{11}\)z + \(\frac{3}{11}\) |
