Question

Solve for zzz. 42=-7(z-3)42=−7(z−3)

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve for z we single it out, distribute, use the communicative property, and combine like terms.

42 = -7(z - 3)42 = -7(z - 3)

Distribute

42 = -7z + 21*42 = -7z + 21

42 = -7z + 882 = -7z + 21

-42 to both sides

-7z + 840 = -7z + 21

-21 to both sides

-7z + 819 = -7z

+7z to both sides

819 = 0

Thus,

the given equation is false.

I hope this helps :)
