Hi student, let me help you out! :)

We are asked to solve the equation [tex]\mathrm{-6z+2+3=15}[/tex].

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]

  • The goal is to isolate x.

Notice that we can add 2+3 right off the bat:

[tex]\star~\mathrm{-6z+5=15}[/tex]

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equal sign:

[tex]\star~\mathrm{-6z=10}[/tex]

Divide both sides by -6:

[tex]\star~\mathrm{z=\cfrac{10}{-6}}[/tex]

Simplify!

[tex]\star~\mathrm{z=-\cfrac{5}{3}}[/tex]

Hope it helps you out! :D
