Question

-p(d+z)=-2z+59 solve for z.

Answer 1

Answer:

Z = (pd + 59)/(2-p)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve for z in the -p(d+z)=-2z+59 expression, we would open the bracket and then evaluate for the exact value of z

solution

-p(d+z)=-2z+59

-pd - pz = -2z + 59

collect the like terms

-pd -59 = -2z + pz

-pd - 59 = -z ( 2 - p)

divide both side by ( 2-p)

-pd - 59 /2-p = -z

since we are to solve for z and not -z , so we would multiply both sides by - sign

- (-pd - 59)/2-p = -(-z)

pd + 59/2-p = z

therefore

Z = (pd + 59)/(2-p)
