14.59
To solve, simply plug -7.1 into -Z. Since Z is negative in the equation, it will turn the Z that’s given to us into a negative. Since that Z is already negative, it will now become a positive since that’s what two negatives being multiplied make. This is what your problem will look like:
-(-7.1) + 7.49
7.1 + 7.49 = 14.59
