Answer :
[tex]5z-2=2(3z-4) \\ \\ 5z-2=6z-8 \\ \\ 5z=6z-6 \\ \\ -z=-6 \\ \\ z=6[/tex]
Distribute the 2 with the (3z-4) after distributing the 2, your answer would look like this: 5z-2=6z-8
then you would add 2 to both sides and your equation would look like this: 5z=6z-6
next you would subtract the 6z to both sides and your equation would look like this: -z=6
I think that is your answer sorry I tried.
