Collect like terms by changing the sign when you move the term to the other side.

z = 10 -6 (change sign)

z = 4

Note: Changing the sign is a shortcut precise method is to add/subtract a term on both sides to cancel out the term you don't want

Method: 6 - 6 +z = 10 -6

(subtract -6 to cancel out the 6)

Therfore: z = 10 -6. ---> z= 4

Subtract 6 from both sides : z = 16

There's your answer : z = 16
