how would you solve -2(z+11)=6
I would divide both sides by -2
(z+11)=-3
then, I would subtract 11 from each side.
his way correct i just want to point out you should do PEMDAS so you can get use to using it
To solve the equation -2(z+11)=6, we can use the following steps:
1. Distribute the -2 to both terms within the parentheses:
-2 * z + (-2) * 11 = 6
-2z - 22 = 6
2. Move the constant term to the right side of the equation by adding 22 to both sides:
-2z - 22 + 22 = 6 + 22
-2z = 28
3. Divide both sides of the equation by -2 to isolate the variable z:
(-2z) / -2 = 28 / -2
z = -14
Therefore, the solution to the equation -2(z+11)=6 is z = -14.
