Utilizing the Result From Solve[]

If I am solving a simple equation, such as: Solve[z+2 = = 3,z], this 
returns {{z->1}}. How can I easily get the result, 1? Solve[] returns 
the solution in rule form.

The current method I use to just get the result looks very ugly. Is 
there an easier way to do this?

Here is my current method:

ReplaceAll[z, First[ First[ Solve[ z + 2 = = 3, z ]]]];
z = %;

Now I can use z as a normal variable.

Thanks!
