@AloneS Do we divide first or subtract? :/

alones (alones):

Jabey >.> yes subtract 8

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

-3z + 8 = -1 Subtract 8. -3z = -9 Divide by -3. z = 3.

jabez177 (jabez177):

First we subtract 8 from -1 so -1 - 8 = ?

OpenStudy (maddieayeeee):

-9

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

Which all goes to one side. Leaving it -3z = -9.

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

-9/-3 = ?

OpenStudy (maddieayeeee):

3

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

z =3. Great job.

jabez177 (jabez177):

And to check, replace 3 with z. -3(3) + 8 = ?

OpenStudy (maddieayeeee):

-1
