Answer: z = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
24z - 48 = 16z + 112
Subtracting 16z from both sides of the equation, we have
24z - 16z - 48 = 16z - 16z + 112
8z - 48 = 112
Adding 48 to both sides, we have
8z - 48 + 48 = 112 + 48
8z = 160
Dividing both sides by 8,
8z/8 = 160/8
z = 20
