-6z + 5-2(z+1)=3z-2
first do the parentheses:
-6z+5-2z-2=3z-2
Then combine like terms:
-8z+3=3Z-2
Add 8z to both sides of the equation:
3=11z-2
Add 2 to both sides of the equation:
5=11z
Divide both sides by 11

check by substituting for z in the equation:


convert everything to the same denominator to validate:


combine like terms:
, So this is correct
