Question

How do you solve 2 + 8 - z = -24 for z

Answer 1

Your answer is z = 34 here's how to get it

Explanation:

combine 2+8 and get 10

10 - Z = -24

Next cancel out the 10 to get z by itself so subtract 10 from both sides

10-10-z= -24-10

-z = -34

now divide -z to remove the negative

-z/-z = -34/-z

here is your answer

z =-34

Answer 2

z=34

Explanation:

2 + 8 - z = -24

add

10-z = -24

subtract 10 from each side

10-z-10 = -24-10

-z = -34

multiply by -1

-1*-z = -34 * -1

z = 34
