Answer:

z = - 14

Explanation:

Solving for z using basic algebra

3(2z + 3) = -75

Step 1 distribute the 3

3 * 2z = 6z

3 * 3 = 9

now we have 6z + 9 = -75

step 2 subtract 9 from each side

9 - 9 cancels out

-75 - 9 = -84

now we have 6z = - 84

step 3 divide each side by 6

6z / 6 cancels out

-84 / 6 = -14

we're left with z = -14
