Question

solve for z.
-4 + 3z = -2 + 5z
z =

Explanation:

Step1: Move z - terms to one side

Subtract \(3z\) from both sides:
\(-4 + 3z-3z=-2 + 5z-3z\)
\(-4=-2 + 2z\)

Step2: Move constant terms to one side

Add 2 to both sides:
\(-4 + 2=-2+2 + 2z\)
\(-2 = 2z\)

Step3: Solve for z

Divide both sides by 2:
\(z=\frac{-2}{2}\)

Answer:

\(-1\)
