Question

What is the value of z in the equation 2z 8 = −6? −1 −7 1 7

Answer 1

if you mean 2z+8=-6
than 2z=-14 and z=-7

Answer 2

The value of z is
`-7`

Explanation:

we have

`2z+8=-6`

Solve for z

Subtract
`8` both sides

`2z+8-8=-6-8`

`2z=-14`

Divide by
`2` both sides

`2z/2=-14/2`

`z=-7`
