8z - 22 = 3(3z+11) - z
expand by using distributive property
8z - 22 = 9z + 33 - z
simplify
8z - 22 = 8z + 33
0 = 55
No solution
Hello!
First of all, let's undo the parentheses.
8z-22=9z+33-z
Now we add 22 to both sides.
8z=9z+55-z
Now we subtract add z to both sides.
9z=9z+55
We are left in a bit of a twist here. 9z cannot equal 9z plus something else. If you subtracted 9z from both sides, you would get 0=55, which is a false equation.
Therefore, there is no answer to this equation.
I hope this helps!
