7%28z%2B2%29=46%2B3z Start with the given equation.


7z%2B14=46%2B3z Distribute.


7z=46%2B3z-14 Subtract 14 from both sides.


7z-3z=46-14 Subtract 3z from both sides.


4z=46-14 Combine like terms on the left side.


4z=32 Combine like terms on the right side.


z=%2832%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate z.


z=8 Reduce.
