See the entire solution process below:

Divide each side of the equation by $15$ $color(red)(15)$ to solve for $z$ $z$ while keeping the equation balanced:

$\frac{15 z}{15} = \frac{25}{15}$ $(15z)/color(red)(15) = 25/color(red)(15)$

$(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(15)))z)/cancel(color(red)(15)) = (5 xx 5)/color(red)(5 xx 3)$

$z = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(5))) xx 5)/color(red)(cancel(5) xx 3)$

$x = 5/3$
