.5(z+1)=

Solution for .5(z+1)= equation:

Simplifying
0.5(z + 1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
0.5(1 + z) = 0
(1 * 0.5 + z * 0.5) = 0
(0.5 + 0.5z) = 0

Solving
0.5 + 0.5z = 0

Solving for variable 'z'.

Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + 0.5z = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5z = 0 + -0.5
0.5z = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
0.5z = -0.5

Divide each side by '0.5'.
z = -1

Simplifying
z = -1
