Step-by-step explanation:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step 1: Translate (z - 6)

z = a number z

- = difference

6 = six

(z - 6) = The difference between a number z and 6

Step 2: Translate 8(z - 6)

(z - 6) = The difference between a number z and 6

Since we are distributing the 8, we are multiplying.

8 times the difference of a number z and 6
