18\times 2z-9\times 3z+3\times 5z=-8z+54
Multiply both sides of the equation by 18, the least common multiple of 2,6,9.
36z-9\times 3z+3\times 5z=-8z+54
Multiply 18 and 2 to get 36.
36z-27z+3\times 5z=-8z+54
Multiply -9 and 3 to get -27.
9z+3\times 5z=-8z+54
Combine 36z and -27z to get 9z.
9z+15z=-8z+54
Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.
24z=-8z+54
Combine 9z and 15z to get 24z.
24z+8z=54
Add 8z to both sides.
32z=54
Combine 24z and 8z to get 32z.
z=\frac{54}{32}
Divide both sides by 32.
z=\frac{27}{16}
Reduce the fraction \frac{54}{32} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
