Answer: Just turn it into an equation! Replace the > with a =.
Explanation:
Subtract 7 from both sides (bc you’re doing the opposite of +7) So 7z +7-7 cancels out so you just have 7z. 7z = -2z -4 -7, so 7z = -2z -11
Add 2z to both sides (bc your doing the opposite again) to get 9z = -11
Divide both sides by the number of the of the term with both a number and variable, in this case 9z, the number is 9. So 9z/9= -11/9 so simplified, z= -11/9
Final answer = -11/9
Hope this helps :D
