Question: 267

1. If 6z = 12 + 2z, what is the value of 8z?

  • A. 3
  • B. 4
  • C. 6
  • D. 16

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

The answer is E

First, subtract 2z from both sides: 4z = 12. Next, you can multiply both sides by 2 to solve for 8z: 8z = 24. Alternatively, divide both sides by 4 to find z and then multiply both sides by 8: z = 3, and 8z = 24.
