Distribute 3 into parentheses: Distribute the 3 into the parentheses.3(2z−4)=3×2z+3×(−4)=6z−12
Set equation equal to 30: Set the equation equal to 30 and solve for 6z. 6z−12=30 Add 12 to both sides to isolate the term with z. 6z−12+12=30+12 6z=42
Divide both sides by 6: Divide both sides by 6 to solve for z.66z=642z=7
