Question

Combing like terms -14+12+9z-16z =

Answer 1

Combining like terms is combining numbers with the same variables.

= -14 + 12 + 9z - 16z

= (-14 + 12) + (9z - 16z)

= -2 - 7z

~Put into standard form

-7z - 2

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

-6/7

Explanation:

-14+12+9z-16z=0

-6-7z=0

Add 7z to both sides

-6=7z

Divide both sides by 7

z=-6/7

Therefore the value for z is -6/7
