Question

2 (3z- 2) + 8 = 34
(solve for z)

Answer 1

The answer to your question is z = 5

Explanation:

2(3z - 2) + 8 = 34

1.- Expand

6z - 4 + 8 = 34

2.- Add 4 to both sides

6z - 4 + 8 + 4 = 34 + 4

3.- Simplify

6z + 8 = 38

4.- Subtract 8 to both sides

6z + 8 - 8 = 38 - 8

5.- Simplify

6z = 30

6.- Divide both sides by 6

6/6 z = 30/6

7.- Simplify and result

z = 5
