Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
One solution (z = -1)
Discussion:
-2(z+3)-z=-z-4(z+2) =>
-2z -6 -z = -z -4z - 8 =>
-3z -6 = -5z -8 => add 6 to both sides
-2z = -5z -2 => add 5z to both sides
3z = -5z +5z -3 =>
3z = -3 =>
z = -1
Thank you,

She worked as a carpenter for 12 hours and as a blacksmith for 18 hours.
Assuming you mean she earned $20 as a carpenter and $25 as a blacksmith per hour, with a total of 30 hours for $690,
let c represent carpenter hours and b for blacksmith hours.
20c + 25b = 690
c + b = 30
Subtract b from each side so that c = 30 - b
Plug this value into the first equation
20(30 - b) + 25b = 690
600 - 20b + 25b = 690
600 + 5b = 690
5b = 90
b = 18
To find c, plug this value of b into the other equation
c + 18 = 30
c = 12
-7 - (5.x) = 28? Is that what you were looking for?
