Question

Use properties of equality to solve the equation and check your solution.

14=6+z/−2

z=

Answer 1

-34

Given :

• 
  `14 = (6 + z)/( - 2) \\`

To find :

• The value of z

Solution :

Using the property of equality which states that if two values are equal,they can replace each other,

• 
  `14 = (6 + z)/( - 2) \\`
• 
  `14 * - 2=6 + z \\`
• 
  `- 28 = 6 + z`
• 
  `z = - 28 - 6`
• 
  `z = - 34`

Hence, the value of z would be equal to -34.
