Simplifying
2(6z + -1) + -5(z + 8) = 4(z + 2)

Reorder the terms:
2(-1 + 6z) + -5(z + 8) = 4(z + 2)
(-1 * 2 + 6z * 2) + -5(z + 8) = 4(z + 2)
(-2 + 12z) + -5(z + 8) = 4(z + 2)

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 12z + -5(8 + z) = 4(z + 2)
-2 + 12z + (8 * -5 + z * -5) = 4(z + 2)
-2 + 12z + (-40 + -5z) = 4(z + 2)
