Answer:

option C (many)

Explanation:


4(z-5)+2=4z-18

Distribute the numbers inside the parenthesis


4(z-5)+2=4z-18


4z-20+2=4z-18

Combine like terms

Subtract 4x from both sides


4z-20+2=4z-18


-20+2=-18


-18=-18

Both sides are equal. So there are more than one solution for x

Answer is option C (many)
