Explaining Nested Equation Resolution in Forecasting

As a junior data analyst in a corporate finance department, you are training a new hire on how to manually verify automated forecasting equations. One common balancing equation used in the software is 12[15(4z1)]=3(24+11z){}12[1 - 5(4z - 1)] = 3(24 + 11z). In your own words, recall and describe the step-by-step mathematical process required to solve this equation for zz. Be sure to detail the order in which you handle the nested grouping symbols, the distribution steps, and how you isolate the variable to find the final value.
