Question

Solve for z
-4z+1=bz+c

Answer 1

Steps to solve:

-4z + 1 = bz + c

~Subtract bz to both sides

−4z + 1 - bz = bz + c - bz

~Simplify

-bz - 4z + 1 = c

~Subtract 1 to both sides

-bz - 4z + 1 - 1 = c - 1

~Simplify

-bz - 4z = c - 1

~Factor out "z"

z(-b - 4) = c - 1

~Divide (-b - 4) to both sides

`(z(-b - 4))/(-b - 4) = (c-1)/(-b-4)`

~Simplify

Answer →
`(-c+1)/(b+4)`

Best of Luck!
