8z+240=3z
Multiply both sides of the equation by 24, the least common multiple of 3,8.
8z+240-3z=0
Subtract 3z from both sides.
5z+240=0
Combine 8z and -3z to get 5z.
5z=-240
Subtract 240 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
z=\frac{-240}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
z=-48
Divide -240 by 5 to get -48.
