6\times 4=2+1.5z_{2}+z_{2}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
24=2+1.5z_{2}+z_{2}
Multiply 6 and 4 to get 24.
24=2+2.5z_{2}
Combine 1.5z_{2} and z_{2} to get 2.5z_{2}.
2+2.5z_{2}=24
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2.5z_{2}=24-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
2.5z_{2}=22
Subtract 2 from 24 to get 22.
z_{2}=\frac{22}{2.5}
Divide both sides by 2.5.
z_{2}=\frac{220}{25}
Expand \frac{22}{2.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
z_{2}=\frac{44}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{220}{25} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
