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