Given:

-P(51+z) = dz +84

Solve for z

Solution:

Since it is state that the function P(51 + z) contains + 51, we need to subtract 51, to find the original value of the function and later find the value of z.

-P(z) = dz + 84 - 51

-P(z) = dz + 33

The function also contains a negative sign, therefore we need to multiply both sides by - in order to get the positive value of z.

P(z) = -(dz + 33)

= -dz - 33

Transpose -33 on the other side of the equation, it must be taken to note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.

-dz = 33

Divide both sides by -d in order to find the value of z.

z = -33/d

Final answer:

z = -33/d
