To solve for z in the equation −16z−19=−12z+9, we can start by isolating the variable terms on one side of the equation.
Adding 12z to both sides, we get:
−16z−12z−19=−12z+12z+9
Simplifying the equation:
−28z−19=9
Next, we can isolate the constant term by adding 19 to both sides:
−28z−19+19=9+19
Simplifying further:
−28z=28
To solve for z, we divide both sides by −28:
−28z/−28 = 28/−28
Simplifying:
z = -1
Therefore, the value of z in the given equation is -1.
Adding 12z to both sides, we get:
−16z−12z−19=−12z+12z+9
Simplifying the equation:
−28z−19=9
Next, we can isolate the constant term by adding 19 to both sides:
−28z−19+19=9+19
Simplifying further:
−28z=28
To solve for z, we divide both sides by −28:
−28z/−28 = 28/−28
Simplifying:
z = -1
Therefore, the value of z in the given equation is -1.

Combining like terms on both sides:
−28z−19=9
