Question

Solve the following linear equation.6z+3=2Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.

Answer 1

To solve the given equation, isolate z to one side of the equal sign, this way:

1. Substract 2 to both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 6z+3-2=2-2 \\ 6z+1=0 \end{gathered}`

2. Substract 1 to both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 6z+1-1=0-1 \\ 6z=-1 \end{gathered}`

3. Divide both sides of the equation by 6:

`\begin{gathered} (6)/(6)z=-(1)/(6) \\ z=-(1)/(6) \end{gathered}`

z has a value of -1/6.
