2(4z - 2) = 44 can you help me ​

Question

`2(4z - 2) = 44`
can you help me ​

Answer 1

z=6

Explanation:

Answer 2

2(4z−2) = 44

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Distribute:

(2)(4z)+(2)(−2) = 44

8z + −4 = 44

8z − 4 = 44

Add 4 to both sides.

8z − 4 + 4 = 44 + 4

8z = 48

Divide both sides by 8

8z/8 48/8

z = 6
