x+3z-3x=8
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by z-x.
-2x+3z=8
Combine x and -3x to get -2x.
-2x=8-3z
Subtract 3z from both sides.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{8-3z}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{8-3z}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=\frac{3z}{2}-4
Divide 8-3z by -2.
x+3z-3x=8
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by z-x.
-2x+3z=8
Combine x and -3x to get -2x.
3z=8+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
3z=2x+8
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3z}{3}=\frac{2x+8}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
z=\frac{2x+8}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
