Question

-3z+8=2z-12 what is the answer?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Simplifying

-3a + 8 = 2z + -12

Reorder the terms:

8 + -3a = 2z + -12

Reorder the terms:

8 + -3a = -12 + 2z

Solving

8 + -3a = -12 + 2z

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z

-3a = -12 + -8 + 2z

Combine like terms: -12 + -8 = -20

-3a = -20 + 2z

Divide each side by '-3'.

a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z

Simplifying

a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z

Answer 2

z=4

Explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable
