Q. Solve for

z

.

\newline

–(z + –9) = 5

\newline

z =

_____

Simplify Equation: Step $1$ : Simplify the equation by removing the negative sign. $\newline$ Divide both sides by $-1$ to get rid of the negative outside the parenthesis. $\newline$ $\frac{-(z + -9)}{-1} = \frac{5}{-1}$ $\newline$ $z + 9 = -5$
Isolate z: Step $2$ : Isolate z by subtracting $9$ from both sides. $\newline$ Subtract $9$ from both sides to solve for z. $\newline$ $z + 9 - 9 = -5 - 9$ $\newline$ $z = -14$
