For each driveway they shovel, brixton an his n teammates earn $24, which they share equally. each teammate also earns a 5$ tip at the end on the job.

given the equation is 8+9z=-6, the first step would be to subtract the 8 from both sides:

8+9z-8=-6-8

since 8 minus 8 = 0, this would cancel out the 8. and since -6 minus 8 equals -14, the equation would look like this

9z = -14
