0-z\left(x-z\right)=9
Anything times zero gives zero.
0-\left(zx-z^{2}\right)=9
Use the distributive property to multiply z by x-z.
0-zx+z^{2}=9
To find the opposite of zx-z^{2}, find the opposite of each term.
-zx+z^{2}=9
Anything plus zero gives itself.
-zx=9-z^{2}
Subtract z^{2} from both sides.
\left(-z\right)x=9-z^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-z\right)x}{-z}=\frac{9-z^{2}}{-z}
Divide both sides by -z.
x=\frac{9-z^{2}}{-z}
Dividing by -z undoes the multiplication by -z.
x=z-\frac{9}{z}
Divide -z^{2}+9 by -z.
