Question

Combine liked terms 4z + 3(2z - 8y)​

Answer 1

`z = 2.4y \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: and \\ \\ y = (5)/(6) z`

Explanation:

`4z + 3(2z - 8y) \\ 4z + 6z - 24y \\ 10z - 24y \\ 10z = 24y \\ z = (24y)/(10) \\ \\ z = 2.4y \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: and \\ \\ y = (5)/(6) z`

Answer 2

10z - 24y

Explanation:

4z + 3(2z - 8y)​

first distribute

4z + 6z - 24y

then combine like terms

10z - 24y
