Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 2z-6.
-8z+24=-3z+12+z
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by z-4.
-8z+24=-2z+12
Combine -3z and z to get -2z.
-8z+24+2z=12
Add 2z to both sides.
-6z+24=12
Combine -8z and 2z to get -6z.
-6z=12-24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
-6z=-12
Subtract 24 from 12 to get -12.
z=\frac{-12}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
z=2
Divide -12 by -6 to get 2.
