Question

Solve the equation.

2(3z-2)+8=34

A. z=3
B. z=-3
C. z=-4
D. z=5

Answer 1

Step 1: 2(3z-2)+8=34
Step 2: 6z - 4 + 8 = 34
Step 3: 6z + 4 = 34
Step 4: 6z = 34 -4
Step 5: 6z = 30
Step 6: z =30/6
Step 7: z = 5

D is your answer : )

Answer 2

2(3z-2)+8=34
6z - 4 + 8 = 34
6z + 4 = 34
6z = 34 -4
6z = 30
z =30/6
z = 5

answer D. z=5
