5z=-3(z+7)

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

start by distributing the -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5z=-3z-21

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

perfect, now get the "z's" one one side of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8z=21

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

yup, now isolate the z completely.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so z=21/8

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

hold one, the 21 is still negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):
