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 -9b - 5b = -3b + 4z - 2 for b in terms of z.
| -1\(\frac{1}{14}\)z - \(\frac{9}{14}\) | |
| 2z - \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)z + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 2z + \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
