Answer:

z = -34

Explanation:


14=(\left(6+z\right))/(-2)\\\\Switch \:sides\\\\(\left(6+z\right))/(-2)=14\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}-2\\\\(\left(6+z\right)\left(-2\right))/(-2)=14\left(-2\right)\\\\Simplify\\\\6+z=-28\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}6\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\6+z-6=-28-6\\\\Simplify\\\\z = -34
