Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

9(z + 8) = -9z - 72

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Distribute 9:                              9x + 72 = -9z - 72
  2. Add 9z to both sides:               18z + 72 = -72
  3. Subtract 72 on both sides:       18z = -144
  4. Divide 18 on both sides:           z = -8

Here we see that we will get only 1 solution for z.
