Hello, I get confused while solving the examples which have Existetial and universal specification/generalization.

Can anyone help me to solve my doubts, 

1)When to assume variable as fixed?

e.g.1) Q(x,y,z) is  "x+y = z" for real numbers.  which is true? 

                    s1 : $\forall x\forall y\exists z$ Q(x,y,z)

                    s2: $\exists z\forall x\forall y$ Q(x,y,z)

                    In above example where who should consider 'z' as fixed. What is th rule?

e.g 2) $\forall x$ {P(x) $\vee$ Q(x)}

          $\exists x$ (negation (P(x))

          $\forall x$ {negation (Q(x)) V R(x)}

          $\forall x$ {S(x) -> negation(R(x))}

 

what should be the answer  $\exists x $ negation(S(x))  or $\forall x$ negation(S(x))?
