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 -6a - 5a = 5a + 6z + 3 for a in terms of z.
| \(\frac{4}{9}\)z + \(\frac{1}{9}\) | |
| -\(\frac{12}{13}\)z + \(\frac{5}{13}\) | |
| -z - \(\frac{3}{11}\) | |
| z - 6 |
