Answer:
Z = (pd + 59)/(2-p)
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve for z in the -p(d+z)=-2z+59 expression, we would open the bracket and then evaluate for the exact value of z
solution
-p(d+z)=-2z+59
-pd - pz = -2z + 59
collect the like terms
-pd -59 = -2z + pz
-pd - 59 = -z ( 2 - p)
divide both side by ( 2-p)
-pd - 59 /2-p = -z
since we are to solve for z and not -z , so we would multiply both sides by - sign
- (-pd - 59)/2-p = -(-z)
pd + 59/2-p = z
therefore
Z = (pd + 59)/(2-p)
