What is the first step of solving this equation 8 + 9 z equals -6

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

is it " c"? ? jah ajw hew?
