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
