How to solve 36=z+(z+2)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$36=z+(z+2)$$

Solve for z

$z=17$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $z$ and $z$ to get $2z$.

$$36=2z+2$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$2z+2=36$$

Subtract $2$ from both sides.

$$2z=36-2$$

Subtract $2$ from $36$ to get $34$.

$$2z=34$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$z=\frac{34}{2}$$

Divide $34$ by $2$ to get $17$.

$$z=17$$
