2z%2B19=6z%2B3 Start with the given equation.


2z=6z%2B3-19 Subtract 19 from both sides.


2z-6z=3-19 Subtract 6z from both sides.


-4z=3-19 Combine like terms on the left side.


-4z=-16 Combine like terms on the right side.


z=%28-16%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate z.


z=4 Reduce.
