Solve for z:
5 (z + 6) - 2 = 9 z

5 (z + 6) = 5 z + 30:
5 z + 30 - 2 = 9 z

Add like terms. 30 - 2 = 28:
5 z + 28 = 9 z

Subtract 9 z from both sides:
(5 z - 9 z) + 28 = 9 z - 9 z

5 z - 9 z = -4 z:
-4 z + 28 = 9 z - 9 z

9 z - 9 z = 0:
28 - 4 z = 0

Subtract 28 from both sides:
(28 - 28) - 4 z = -28

28 - 28 = 0:
-4 z = -28

Divide both sides of -4 z = -28 by -4:
(-4 z)/(-4) = (-28)/(-4)

(-4)/(-4) = 1:
z = (-28)/(-4)

The gcd of 28 and -4 is 4, so (-28)/(-4) = (-(4×7))/(4 (-1)) = 4/4×(-7)/(-1) = (-7)/(-1):
z = (-7)/(-1)

(-7)/(-1) = (-1)/(-1)×7 = 7:

Solving systems equations by elimination
pishuonlain [190]
I won't answer them all for you (don't want to cheat - need to learn something).
But for the first one given:

<span>-2x-9y=-25
-4x-9y=-23

you set up either x or y (which ever one you want to eliminate) so that one of them cancels.
So this one is easy - you just have to multiply an entire row by negative (doesn't matter which one) - so that the y's will be + and - 

Since they're both 9 and they're subracting NOW - you can eliminate the y value. Now add/subtract the x's. So it'd be -2 or 2 depending on how you eliminated y. Then add the number outside of the = sign. Now just solve for x. After that plug in whatever you got for x into both of the rows. Then find the y value.

Hopefully this wasn't confusing -- reply if it is and I will try to simplify. I can give you contact if you need help with the rest 

Good luck!</span>

When you add the same number to each side of an equation, do you always get an equivalent equation? webasign?
CaHeK987 [17]
Yes   you always do.

eg x - 2 = 8

x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2

x = 10  
if we plug x = 10 into the original equation we se  that this fits:-

10 - 2 = 8
