8z+2=2(z-5)-z\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Adding z to both the sides,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8z + 2 + z = 2z - 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "adding - 2z to both the sides,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8z + 2 + z - 2z = - 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7z + 2 = - 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "adding -2 to both the sides,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7z = - 10 -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7z = - 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "z = - 12/7
