Does the (6-z) belong on the top as indicated by pedmas OR does it belong on the bottom?  Either way it would be good if you used more brackets to make your meaning clear.  Thanks.

Ok then, I will  answer the question that you have asked.  

 

$$\begin{array}{rll}
\frac{1}{2}(6-z)&=&z\\
\frac{1}{2}(6-z)\times 2&=&z \times 2\\
6-z&=&2z\\
6-z+z&=&2z+z\\
6&=&3z\\
\frac{6}{3}&=&\frac{3z}{3}\\
2&=&z\\
z&=&2\\
\end{array}$$
