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