-2x=z+5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{z+5}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{z+5}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=\frac{-z-5}{2}
Divide 5+z by -2.
5+z=-2x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
z=-2x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
