z%2B8%2F6=2z%2B12%2F9+-+4z%2F9

18%28z%2B8%2F6%29=18%282z%2B12%2F9+-+4z%2F9%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD of 18

18z%2B24=36z%2B24+-+8z Distribute

18z%2B24=28z%2B24 Combine like terms

18z-28z=24-24 Get all like terms to one side

-10%2Az=0 Combine like terms

z=0%2F-10 Divide both sides by -10 to isolate z

So our answer is
z=0
