Question

`\sf -3z+1 = -26`

Answer 1

Explanation:

OK:

1. Isolate the variable in the left side!! Remember if a number or variable goes over the equal sign it always becomes opposite!

-3z=-26-1

-3z=-27

-3*z=-27

z= -27/-3

z=9

2. Always double check!

-3*9+1=-26

TRUE

Answer: z=9

Answer 2

z = 9

Explanation:

The given equation is,

→ -3z + 1 = -26

Let's solve for the value of z,

→ -3z + 1 = -26

→ -3z = -26 - 1

→ z = (-27)/(-3)

→ z = 27/3

→ [ z = 9 ]

Hence, the value of z is 9.
