To subtract 12(z+4)−3(14z+1), we will distribute the 12 and the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
12(z+4) = 12z + 48
3(14z+1) = 42z + 3
Now we can subtract the two expressions:
12z + 48 - (42z + 3)
To subtract, we can combine like terms:
12z - 42z + 48 - 3
-30z + 45
So the final answer, using fractions, is -30z + 45.
Subtract 12(z+4)−3(14z+1). Use fractions in final form.(1 point)
