Question

2(z + –16) = 22 z=_______

Answer 1

First distribute the 2 through the parenthses.

So we get 2z + -32 = 22.

Since adding a negative is the same as subtracting,

we can change the problem to read 2z - 32 = 22.

Solving from here, add 32 to both sides to get 2z = 54.

Now divide both sides by 2 to get z = 27.
