Question

Solve the following equation:z+9/3(z+5) = -2​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, the value of z is -39/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \leadsto \dfrac{z + 9}{3(z + 5)} = -2$

$\sf \leadsto \dfrac{z + 9}{3z + 15} = -2$

$\sf \leadsto z + 9 = -2(3z + 15)$

$\sf \leadsto z + 9 = -6z - 30$

$\sf \leadsto z + 6z = -30 - 9$

$\sf \leadsto 7z = -39$

$\sf \leadsto z = \dfrac{-39}{7}$
