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

Combining like terms on both sides:

−28z−19=9

Next, we can isolate the constant term by adding 19 to both sides:

−28z−19+19=9+19
