9z-3%2F8=9%2F16 Start with the given equation.


16%289z-3%2Fcross%288%29%29=16%289%2Fcross%2816%29%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 16 to clear any fractions.


144z-6=9 Distribute and multiply.


144z=9%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


144z=15 Combine like terms on the right side.


z=%2815%29%2F%28144%29 Divide both sides by 144 to isolate z.


z=5%2F48 Reduce.
