Question

Fifteen more than 6 times z is equivalent to twice the value of y minus eleven.

a) 6z + 15 = 2y - 11
b) 15 + 6z = 2y - 11
c) 6z + 15 = 2y + 11
d) 6z + 15 = 11 - 2y

Answer 1

The equation can be written as 6z + 15 = 2y - 11. To solve for z, isolate it on one side of the equation: z = (2y - 26) / 6. The correct equation is:

(a) 6z + 15 = 2y - 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be written as 6z + 15 = 2y - 11.

To solve for z, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation: 6z + 15 = 2y - 11

1. Subtract 15 from both sides: 6z = 2y - 11 - 15
2. Simplify: 6z = 2y - 26
3. Divide both sides by 6: z = (2y - 26) / 6

So, the correct equation is (a) 6z + 15 = 2y - 11.
