Answer:

-7 (The other person copied me)

Explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

8−12z=92

8+−12z=92

−12z+8=92

Subtract 8 from both sides.

−12z+8−8=92−8

−12z=84

Divide both sides by -12.

−12z/−12 = 84/−12

z=−7

Answer: z = -7

Explanation:

Simplify the equation so the Integer is on the right:

8 - 12z = 92

-12z + 8 = 92

Now subtract 8 from both sides:

-12z + 8 - 8 = 92 - 8

-12z = 84

Now divide both sides by 12 to get z by itself:

-12z/-12 = 84/-12

z = -7
