%281%2F4%29z=%281%2F3%29z-2 Start with the given equation.


Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 12 to clear any fractions.


3z=4z-24 Multiply and simplify.


3z-4z=-24 Subtract 4z from both sides.


-z=-24 Combine like terms on the left side.


z=%28-24%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate z.


z=24 Reduce.

Answer:

So the answer is z=24
