I'm assuming you want to solve for  z  :)

By simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Exact form:

z= -5/3 , - 11/3

Mixed number form:

z=  −1  2/3  ,  −3  2/3

Answer:

There are two solutions, -5/3 and -11/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Move -5 to the right side and add:

-5 | 3x + 8 | = -15

Get rid of the absolute-value bars by splitting them into negative and positive cases.

Solve negative case

-5 ( 3z + 8 ) = -15

Distribute or Multiply:

-15z - 40 = -15

Rearrange and Add:

-15z = 55

Divide both sides by 15:

-z= 11/3

Multiply both sides by -1:

z= -11/3

Solve negative case

5 ( 3z + 8 ) = -15

Distribute or Multiply:

15z + 40 = 15

Rearrange and Add:

15z = -25

Divide both sides by 15:

z = -(5/3)

Answer

z=-11/3

z=-5/3
