Question 751391
{{{5(6z-1)-4(z+8)=18}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{30z-5-4z-32=18}}} Distribute.



{{{-37+26z=18}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{26z=18+37}}} Add {{{37}}} to both sides.



{{{26z=55}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{z=(55)/(26)}}} Divide both sides by {{{26}}} to isolate {{{z}}}.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{z=55/26}}}
