Question 619068
{{{3(2z-1)-2(z+4)=2(z+1)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{6z-3-2z-8=2z+2}}} Distribute.



{{{-11+4z=2z+2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4z=2z+2+11}}} Add {{{11}}} to both sides.



{{{4z-2z=2+11}}} Subtract {{{2z}}} from both sides.



{{{2z=2+11}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2z=13}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{z=(13)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{z}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{z=13/2}}}
