Answer:

z = 8

Explanation:

Answer:

Solution for 2z-4=12-1z equation:

Simplifying

2z + -4 = 12 + -1z

Reorder the terms:

-4 + 2z = 12 + -1z

Solving

-4 + 2z = 12 + -1z

Solving for variable 'z'.

Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'z' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 2z + z = 12 + -1z + z

Combine like terms: 2z + z = 3z

-4 + 3z = 12 + -1z + z

Combine like terms: -1z + z = 0

-4 + 3z = 12 + 0

-4 + 3z = 12

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 3z = 12 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 3z = 12 + 4

3z = 12 + 4

Combine like terms: 12 + 4 = 16

3z = 16

Divide each side by '3'.

z = 5.333333333

Simplifying

z = 5.333333333
