k = - 2

evaluate h(2), equate to 18 and solve for k

h(2) = - 2k + 14 = 18 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

- 2k = 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

k = - 2

h(x)= -kx + 14

18 = -k*2 + 14 since x=2

18 = -2k +14

subtract 14 from each side

4 = -2k

divide by -2

-2 =k

Solve for z.<br> -4z+1 = bz+c

blagie [28]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{z=\dfrac{1-c}{4+b}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-4z+1=bz+c\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\-4z=bz+c-1\qquad\text{subtract}\ bz\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-4z-bz=c-1\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\4z+bz=1-c\qquad\text{distribute}\\\\(4+b)z=1-c\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ (4+b)\neq0\\\\z=\dfrac{1-c}{4+b}$
