Answer:

x = 2 / 3z - 1 and 2 / 3

Explanation:

Consider the steps below;


- 3x + 2z = 5 - Subtract 2z From Either Side of Equation,\\- 3x = 5 - 2z - Take - 3 Divided on Either Side,\\\\x = ( - 5 / 3 ) + 2 / 3z - ( Simplify ),\\x = - 1 ( 2 )/( 3 ) + 2 / 3z - Re - arrange,\\x = ( 2 )/( 3 ) z - 1 ( 2 )/( 3 ) \\\\Conclusion ; ( x = ( 2 )/( 3 ) z - 1 ( 2 )/( 3 ) )

Solution ; x = 2 / 3z - 1 and 2 / 3

Answer:

x = -(5-2z)/3

Explanation:

-3x+2z=5

Subtract 2z from each side

-3x+2z-2z=5-2z

-3x = 5-2z

Divide each side by -3

-3x/-3 = (5-2z)/-3

x = (5-2z)/-3
