To solve the equation, we can distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the parentheses:
(z - 11) - (z + 8) = 80
Simplifying the equation, we can remove the parentheses:
z - 11 - z - 8 = 80
Combining like terms, we have:
z - z - 11 - 8 = 80
Simplifying further:
-19 = 80
This equation is not correct since -19 is not equal to 80. Therefore, there is no solution to the equation.
(z-11)-(z+8) = 80
