Answer:
(3)/(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to open the brackets on either side of the equation.


\frac{z}3} - 4z+4 = 5z-10+1

After opening the brackets, we need to separate the variables from the constants.


(z)/(3) -4z-5z = -10+1-4

Then we need to convert the variable fraction into a normal variable by multiplying the variable fraction and also all other terms in the equation.

3(
(z)/(3)) 3(-4z) 3(-5z) = 3(-10) + 3(1) + 3(-4)

z -12z -15z = -30+3-12

Now, we can simplify the equation !

-26z = -39

z = -39รท-26

=
(3)/(2)
