4(2z+6)-12=4

OpenStudy (swamijatin2):

what we have to find

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

Hello @agray99 and Welcome to OpenStudy! :) to find z first we should distribute the 4 into the (2z + 6) do you know how to do that? :)

OpenStudy (swamijatin2):

-1 is answer means value of z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean you got it lol

OpenStudy (agray99):

the answer is-4(2z+6)-12=4

OpenStudy (agray99):

i need to know how to get it

OpenStudy (agray99):

z=-5*

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

ahhh you forgot a negative there in your first question ^_^

OpenStudy (agray99):

my bad

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

that's ok first you would distribute the (-4) into the (8x + 6) then add like terms then add 36 to both sides then divide both sides by negative 8

OpenStudy (swamijatin2):

oh sorry for my mistake i 5 is correct

OpenStudy (agray99):

distrubute (-4) where

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

distribute the (-4) into the (8x + 6) so (-4)*(8x) + (-4)*(6) = 4 can you simplify that? :)

OpenStudy (agray99):

wait it's -4(2z+6)-12=4 where did 8x=6 come in????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4(2z+6)-12=4 add 12 to both sides, what do you get? 4(2z+6) -12 + 12 = 4 + 12

OpenStudy (agray99):

oh my god i'm stupid you're making no sense

OpenStudy (agray99):

it's -4...

OpenStudy (agray99):

not 4

OpenStudy (swamijatin2):

-4(2z+6)-12=4 -4(2z+6)=4+12 2z+6=16/-4 2z =-4-6 2z=-10 z=-10/2 z=-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2z+6=16/-4 that's the most tricky part to realize. that you can divide that over

OpenStudy (agray99):

so can you tell me the exact process with words

OpenStudy (swamijatin2):

-4(2z+6)-12=4 -4(2z+6)=4+12 2z+6=16/-4 2z =-4-6 2z=-10 z=-10/2 z=-5 this is corect now u can check

OpenStudy (agray99):

i'm sorry but can you explain this with words

OpenStudy (swamijatin2):

okay this is equation-4(2z+6)-12=4 so we put -12 fromLHS to RHS that is -4(2z+6)=4 +12 then we put -4 to RHS that is (2z+6)=16/-4 -4 will devide by 16 because in LHS it was multiplied then, 2z+6 =16/-4=-4 then , 2z =-4-6 =-10 so z=-10 /2=-5
