Answer:

x =
(z)/(b) -(a)/(b)

Explanation:

a + b(
(z)/(b) -(a)/(b)) = z

a + z - a = z

a - a + z = z

z = z

This is true.

Answer: x=(z-a)/b

Explanation:

First subtract a from both sides to begin isolating x on its side of the equation. This gives you bx=z-a. Next, divide b from both sides to finish isolating x. This gives you x=(z-a)/b
