If z(q+t)=e then q=
1) divide both sides by z
q+t = e/z
2) subtract t from both sides
q = e/z - t

Let's cut to the chase: I know this subject & how to teach YOU
This is nonsense.

Well, now that you say you wish to solve for q, let's look and see where q is.
z(q+t)=e q is embedded within a parenthesized expression. so let's undo the multiplication by z, to start the process of isolating q. that is, first step is to divide by z; then we have (q+t) = e/z
(I cannot resist saying 'that was easy') next, just subtract t from each side; we get q = e/z - t.
