Respuesta :
The solution is -27 because to get z alone you need to subtract 9 from both sides, in which you get z = -27.
Answer: z=-27 *The answer must have negative sign.*
Explanation:
subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.
a-c=b-c
addition property of equality is adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the equation.
a+c=b=c
first, subtract by 9 both sides of an equation.
z+9-9=-18-9
then, simplify by equation.
18+9=27
It change positive to negative sign.
z=-27
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
