Answer:

z=-16

Explanation:

-7 = (z/2) + 1 Original equation

-7-1 = (z/2) Combining like terms

-8 = z/2 Simplification

-8 × 2 = (z/2) × 2 Isolating the variable

-16 = z The answer

Check your answer

-7 = (-16/2) + 1 Substitution

-7= -8 + 1 Simplify

-7 = -7 Your answer is right

Hope this helped!!!
