-6(5-2z) + 5z = 8z - 3(16-3z) Solve. Please show all your work?

Question

mertsj · Answer

Why did you repost this?

anonymous · Answer

Because I ask someone else and they totally gave me a different answer to what you have given me

mertsj · Answer

What did they get?

anonymous · Answer

-6(5-2z) + 5z = 8z - 3(16-3z)
-30 + 12z + 5z = 8z -48 +6z
17z= - 18 + 14z
3z = -18
z= -6

mertsj · Answer

There is just one problem with that solution:   3 times 3 is NOT 6

anonymous · Answer

So he is wrong?

anonymous · Answer

Can you please repost what you have given me?

mertsj · Answer

Do you not see?   -3(16-3z)= -48+9z
And he wrote that it is -48+6z

anonymous · Answer

Sorry about that.

anonymous · Answer

Can you please re post it again?

mertsj · Answer

−6(5−2z)+5z=8z−3(16−3z)

−30+12z+5z=8z−48+9z

17z−30=17z−48

−30=−48

anonymous · Answer

I got -78 when I did -39=-48?

mertsj · Answer

there is NO SOLUTION
Why don't you pick any number you want and plug it in in place of z and see what you get?

anonymous · Answer

Are you going to kill me?

mertsj · Answer

Ok.  Let's just do the left side
What is -6(5-2z)    ?

anonymous · Answer

-30

mertsj · Answer

-6(5-2z)=-30+12z

mertsj · Answer

No I'm not going to kill you I'm going to revoke your birthday.

anonymous · Answer

Revoke my birthday might as well just shoot me?

anonymous · Answer

Solve. Please show all of your work.
If the first and third of three consecutive odd integers are added, the result is 69 less than five times the second integer. Find all three integers

mertsj · Answer

Do you agree that -6(5-2z)=-30+12z   ???

anonymous · Answer

I been agree with you.

mertsj · Answer

So are we done with that other problem and you are going to stop posting it?

anonymous · Answer

Yes I will stop posting it up and we are definitely done with that, Can we proceed?

mertsj · Answer

If the first and third of three consecutive odd integers are added, the result is 69 less than five times the second integer. Find all three integers

mertsj · Answer

Let the three consecutive odd integers be:
x
x+2
x+4

mertsj · Answer

x+x+4=5(x+2)-69

mertsj · Answer

Do you agree with that equation?

anonymous · Answer

Yes

mertsj · Answer

Can you solve it?

anonymous · Answer

Im slow I can't solve it?

mertsj · Answer

$$2x+4=5x+10-69$$

mertsj · Answer

$$2x+4=5x-59$$
