2(2z + 6)=44
answer attempt 1 out of 5
z =

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the 2

$2\times2z+2\times6 = 44$, which simplifies to $4z + 12=44$.

Step2: Subtract 12 from both sides

$4z+12 - 12=44 - 12$, so $4z=32$.

Step3: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4z}{4}=\frac{32}{4}$, then $z = 8$.

Answer:

$8$
