For this case we have the following equation:


3-2z = \frac {1} {10}

We must find the value of z that represents the solution of the equation:

We follow the steps below:

We multiply by 10 on both sides of the equation:


10 (3-2z) = 1

We apply distributive property to the terms of parentheses;


30-20z = 1

We subtract 30 from both sides of the equation:


-20z = 1-30\\-20z = -29

We divide between -20 on both sides of the equation:


z = \frac {-29} {- 20}\\z = \frac {29} {20}\\z = 1.45

If we substitute the value of z in the original equation, equality is satisfied.

Answer:


z = 1.45
