Question

-(7-9)z-6z=8(-6+2) solve for z

can I see the process I know the answer is 8 I just don't understand the process

Answer 1

(-(7-9))(z)-6z= 8(-6+2)

Simplify

-(-2)(z) -6z =8(-6+2)

Multiply 8*-6 and 8*2

2z -6z= -48+16

Combine like terms

2z+-6z =-32

-4z=-32

Divide both sides by -4

z=8
