%281%2F2%29%286-z%29=z Start with the given equation.


6-z=2z Multiply both sides by 2


6=2z%2Bz Add z to both sides.


6=3z Combine like terms.


6%2F3=z Divide both sides by 3 to isolate 'z'.


2=z Reduce


z=2 Rearrange the equation.


=========================

Answer:

So the solution is z=2
