Answer:

z = 4

Explanation:

7z - 4 = 12 + 3z

1) We want to first move the z values to one side of the equation. This means we would subtract 3z from both sides to move it to the left side. This would give us 4z - 4 = 12.

2) We then want to isolate the z value. This means we want to move the -4 to the right side. We would add 4 to both sides and get 4z = 16.

3) We can then divide both sides by 4 and get the value for z.

This gives us z = 4.
