You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-6%285-2z%29%2B5z+=+8z-3%2816-3z%29
-30%2B12z%2B5z+=+8z-48%2B9z distributed the -6 and -3
-30%2B17z=17z-48 added like terms
-30=-48 subtracted 17z from both sides
z was canceled so this problem is invalid
-6%285-2z%29%2B5z does not equal 8z-3%2816-3z%29


thanks for catching my mistake.
