Question

$$-5z+3=-2-11z$$

Solve for z

$z=-\frac{5}{6}\approx -0.833333333$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $11z$ to both sides.

$$-5z+3+11z=-2$$

Combine $-5z$ and $11z$ to get $6z$.

$$6z+3=-2$$

Subtract $3$ from both sides.

$$6z=-2-3$$

Subtract $3$ from $-2$ to get $-5$.

$$6z=-5$$

Divide both sides by $6$.

$$z=\frac{-5}{6}$$

Fraction $\frac{-5}{6}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{5}{6}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$z=-\frac{5}{6}$$
