Full solution

Q. Solve for zz.\newline5z12=14+14z-5z - 12 = 14 + 14 - z\newlinez=z = __
  1. Simplify Equation: First, let's simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms.\newline5z12=14+14z-5z - 12 = 14 + 14 - z\newline5z12=28z-5z - 12 = 28 - z
  2. Combine Terms: Next, we want to get all the zz terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side. To do this, we'll add zz to both sides and add 1212 to both sides.\newline5z+z12+12=28z+z+12-5z + z - 12 + 12 = 28 - z + z + 12\newline4z=40-4z = 40
  3. Isolate Variable: Now, we need to isolate zz by dividing both sides of the equation by 4-4.4z4=404\frac{-4z}{-4} = \frac{40}{-4}z=10z = -10
