Question

Solve for z
-5/6z-3=47

Answer 1

z = -60 or z= -1/60

Explanation:

One way:

-5/6z-3=47

Add 3 to both sides

-5/6z=50

Multiply both sides by 6z

-5=6z(50)

-5 = 300z

Divide both sides by 300

-1/60 = z

Another solution:

`(-5)/(6) z-3=47`

Add three to both sides.

`(-5)/(6) z = 50`

Bring both -5/6 and z together

`(-5z)/(6)` = 50

Multiply both sides by 6

-5z = 300

Divide both sides by -5

z = -60
