0.7(z-17)=-0.3(2-0.5)

Solution for 0.7(z-17)=-0.3(2-0.5) equation:

Simplifying
0.7(z + -17) = -0.3(2 + -0.5)

Reorder the terms:
0.7(-17 + z) = -0.3(2 + -0.5)
(-17 * 0.7 + z * 0.7) = -0.3(2 + -0.5)
(-11.9 + 0.7z) = -0.3(2 + -0.5)

Combine like terms: 2 + -0.5 = 1.5
-11.9 + 0.7z = -0.3(1.5)

Multiply -0.3 * 1.5
-11.9 + 0.7z = -0.45

Solving
-11.9 + 0.7z = -0.45

Solving for variable 'z'.

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

Add '11.9' to each side of the equation.
-11.9 + 11.9 + 0.7z = -0.45 + 11.9

Combine like terms: -11.9 + 11.9 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.7z = -0.45 + 11.9
0.7z = -0.45 + 11.9

Combine like terms: -0.45 + 11.9 = 11.45
0.7z = 11.45

Divide each side by '0.7'.
z = 16.35714286

Simplifying
z = 16.35714286
