1-xL=6+xz
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-xL=6+xz-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-xL=5+xz
Subtract 1 from 6 to get 5.
\left(-x\right)L=xz+5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x\right)L}{-x}=\frac{xz+5}{-x}
Divide both sides by -x.
L=\frac{xz+5}{-x}
Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.
L=-z-\frac{5}{x}
Divide 5+xz by -x.
6+xz+xL=1
Add xL to both sides.
xz+xL=1-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
xz+xL=-5
Subtract 6 from 1 to get -5.
\left(z+L\right)x=-5
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(z+L\right)x}{z+L}=-\frac{5}{z+L}
Divide both sides by L+z.
x=-\frac{5}{z+L}
Dividing by L+z undoes the multiplication by L+z.
