Answer: 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
2(4z - 9 - 7) = 166 - 46
let's make this a little more simpler...
2(4z - 16) = 120
use distributive property.
multiply 2 and 4z , 2 and -16.
8z - 32 = 120
add 32 on both sides to isolate the variable
8z = 152
divide both sides by 8...
z = 19
So your answer is A. 19
Hope this helped!! :)
