I hope this helps... if not let me know and I'll try to help again :)
I think your teacher's just asking for the multiplied out version, so there's no work to do
3. -2(3m + 9) = -6m - 11
4. -6(z-1) = -6z + 6
5. -(m +1) = -m - 1
6. -(x+4) = x = 4
7. b(a- 6) = ab - 6b
8. 7a(3b -2c + 4) = 21ab - 14ac +28a
9. 1/2(8x + 2) = 4x + 1
10. 2/3(1/4x -6) = 1/6x - 4

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
-3a + 8 = 2z + -12
Reorder the terms:
8 + -3a = 2z + -12
Reorder the terms:
8 + -3a = -12 + 2z
Solving
8 + -3a = -12 + 2z
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
-3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
Combine like terms: -12 + -8 = -20
-3a = -20 + 2z
Divide each side by '-3'.
a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z
Simplifying
a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z
Yes it is because 4+4=8 and 8 is larger than 7
