Thanks for the hint that "/ = Divided by"
2 = (10 + Z) / -3
-6 = (10 + z)
Z = -16
testing...
2 = 10 -16 / -3
2 = -6 / -3
2 = 2
Yep

First, you multiply by -3 on both sides and get
2 x -3 = 10 + z
Then, you subtract 10 from both sides.
2 x -3 - 10 = z
Then just multiple 2 and -3, then subtract 10 and you have your answer.

1. Multiply both sides by -3
2. Subtract 10 from both sides
3. The answer should be -16

Divide both sides by 2, which you'll multiply the right by two since it is a double denominator.
20+2z/-3=1
2z/-3=-19 (subtract 20)
2z=57 (multiply by -3)
z=28.5

2 = (10 + z) / (-3)
Multiply both sides by -3:
-6 = 10 + z
Add 10 to both sides:
2 = z
Hope I helped!

since its an equation - multiply both sides by -3
-6 = 10 + z.............subtract 10 boith sides
-16 = z
use spellchaeck stupid
both sides

2=(10+z)/-3
2/1=(10+z)/-3
-6=10+z
z=-16
