Answer:
All real numbers are solutions.
Explanation:
4(z−5)+2=4z−18
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4(z−5)+2=4z−18
(4)(z)+(4)(−5)+2=4z+−18(Distribute)
4z+−20+2=4z+−18
(4z)+(−20+2)=4z−18(Combine Like Terms)
4z+−18=4z−18
4z−18=4z−18
Step 2: Subtract 4z from both sides.
4z−18−4z=4z−18−4z
−18=−18
Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.
−18+18=−18+18
0=0
