Evaluate
z−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
z=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
z=2
z=25z+3=0
Solve the equation for z

Evaluate
5z+3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5z=0−3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5z=−3
Divide both sides
55z=5−3
Divide the numbers
z=5−3
