Answer:

-300=z

Explanation:

Divide both sides by 0.070.070, point, 07:

\maroonD{\dfrac{\color{black}{-21}}{0.07}} = \maroonD{\dfrac{\color{black}{0.07z}}{0.07}}

0.07

−21

=

0.07

0.07z

start color #ca337c, start fraction, start color black, minus, 21, end color black, divided by, 0, point, 07, end fraction, end color #ca337c, equals, start color #ca337c, start fraction, start color black, 0, point, 07, z, end color black, divided by, 0, point, 07, end fraction, end color #ca337c

Hint #22 / 3

To simplify, remember that when the signs are the same, the quotient is positive. When the signs are different, the quotient is negative.

-300= \dfrac{\cancel{0.07}z}{\cancel{0.07}}−300=

0.07

0.07

z

minus, 300, equals, start fraction, start cancel, 0, point, 07, end cancel, z, divided by, start cancel, 0, point, 07, end cancel, end fraction

Hint #33 / 3

z = -300z=−300
