I'm assuming you want us to solve for the unknown variable z

Combine like terms on the right side

Use the distributive property on the left side

Add both sides by 20 to cancel out the "-20" on the left side

Divide both sides by 10

That is the value of the known variable, z, in this equation. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:
Line y = –x + 4 intersects the line y = 3x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is described as the point of intersection of the two lines. The description above is the only one that says anything about that.

<em>Comments on other answer choices</em>
Any line with finite non-zero slope intersects both the x- and y-axes. That fact does not describe the solution to a system of equations.
Any linear equation with an added (non-zero) constant will not intersect the origin. These two equations have +4 and +3 added, so neither line intersects the origin.
