-6z=12

I think it is z=12

No.

-6z=12

-6z/-6 = 12/-6

z = -2

had it wrong -6z=72

z is 12
sorry I mixed to questions the first time

what about that minus sign?

To solve the equation -6z = 12, we want to isolate the variable z on one side of the equation.

First, we can divide both sides of the equation by -6 to get:
-6z / -6 = 12 / -6

Simplifying, we have:
z = -2

Therefore, the solution to the equation -6z = 12 is z = -2, not z = 12.
