The given equation is

3(4z + 4) = 36

The first step is to open the bracket by multiplying the terms inside the bracket by the term outside. It becomes

3 * 4z + 3 * 4 = 36

12z + 12 = 36

Subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation, it becomes

12z + 12 - 12 = 36 - 12

12z = 24

z = 24/12

z = 2
