In solidary obligation, you only have to remember the maxim 'one for all, all for one' which means that when there are many creditors in a solidary obligation, any of the creditors can demand the fulfillment of the obligation of the debtor. In the example above, Anyone from X Y and Z can demand from D the whole 30,000. Since Z already remitted the onligation of D, the obligation is already extinguished. But in turn, Z has to give 10,000 each to X and Y.
