Solve for the given variable.
-16z-19=-12+9
To solve for z, we need to isolate the variable z.
First, let's simplify the equation:
-16z - 19 = -12 + 9
Combine like terms on the right side:
-16z - 19 = -3
Next, let's isolate the z term by adding 19 to both sides:
-16z = -3 + 19
-16z = 16
To solve for z, divide both sides by -16:
z = 16 / -16
z = -1
Therefore, the solution is z = -1.
