−6=14−z3
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.−6=14−z3
Simplify: −6=−13z+14
Step 2: Flip the equation.−13z+14=−6
Step 3: Subtract 14 from both sides.−13z+14−14=−6−14−13z=−20
Step 4: Multiply both sides by 3/(-1).(3−1)*(−13z)=(3−1)*(−20)z=60
Answer:
z=60

Solve. -6 = 14 - z/3Subtract 14 from both sides

-20 = -z/3

Multiply -3 by both sides to get rid of the negative and 3 with the z.

z= 60
