Question

I need help solving this because I don’t understand how on brainly -14z goes to a positive

Answer 1

Firstly, let us write the equation

$-15.5+6.5z=-3.25(4z+9.5)$

Let us apply the distribution on the right side:

$-15.5+6.5z=-3.25*4z-3.25*9.5$

Calculating the values:

$-15.5+6.5z=-13z-30.875$

Putting all the z's on the same side:

$6.5z+13z=15.5-30.875$
