Question

Use the distributive property to solve the following equation:
2 + 4(2z + 3) = 15

Answer 1

z=18

Explanation:

2+4(2z+3)=15

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2+4(2z+3)=15

2+(4)(2z)+(4)(3)=15(Distribute)

2+8z+12=15

(8z)+(2+12)=15(Combine Like Terms)

8z+14=15

8z+14=15

Step 2: Subtract 14 from both sides.

8z+14−14=15−14

8z=1

Step 3: Divide both sides by 8.

8z8=18z=18
