10%28z%2B4%29-4%28z-2%29=3%28z-1%29%2B2%28z-3%29 Start with the given equation.


10z%2B40-4z%2B8=3z-3%2B2z-6 Distribute.


48%2B6z=3z-3%2B2z-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


48%2B6z=-9%2B5z Combine like terms on the right side.


6z=-9%2B5z-48 Subtract 48 from both sides.


6z-5z=-9-48 Subtract 5z from both sides.


z=-9-48 Combine like terms on the left side.


z=-57 Combine like terms on the right side.

Answer:

So the solution is z=-57
