why should I multiply both sides by 12?
12 is the lowest common denominator here, allows you to get rid of the fractions.
We can solve this by multiplying both sides by 12 to eliminate all of the fractions. 6 3 z + 9 + 4 8 z − 2 1 2 ( 6 3 z + 9 + 4 8 z − 2 ) 6 z + 1 8 + 2 4 z − 6 1 4 z z = 3 5 + 4 z = 1 2 ( 3 5 + 4 z ) = 2 0 + 1 6 z = 8 = 7 4 Therefore, the answer is 7 4 .

6 3 z + 9 + 4 8 z − 2 = 3 5 + 4 z
Multiply both sides by 1 2 .
1 2 ( 6 3 z + 9 + 4 8 z − 2 = 3 5 + 4 z )
2 ( 3 z + 9 ) + 3 ( 8 z − 2 ) = 4 ( 5 + 4 z )
Simplify by applying the distributive property and combine like terms.
6 z + 1 8 + 2 4 z − 6 = 2 0 + 1 6 z
1 4 z = 8
Divide both sides by 1 4 to get
z = 1 4 8 = 7 4
