z = 4
z = 4

z = –28
z = –28

z = –112
z = –112

z = 784

Answer 1

To find the value of z, we need to solve the equation:

70 = –7(–2 – 2z)

First, we can simplify the equation by distributing -7:

70 = 14 + 14z

Subtract 14 from both sides:

56 = 14z

Finally, we can divide both sides by 14 to solve for z:

56/14 = z
z = 4

So the correct answer is z = 4.
