Question

How to solve for z 6-1/2z=2/3

Answer 1

6 - 1/2z = 2/3

Steps

First, subtract 6 from both sides

6 - 1/2z - 6 = 2/3 - 6

Then, simplify

-1/2z = -16/3

Then, multiply both sides by -2

(-1/2z) (-2) = (-16/3) (-2)

Then, simplify

z = 32/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

6 - 1/2z = 2/3
Steps
First, subtract 6 from both sides
6 - 1/2z - 6 = 2/3 - 6
Then, simplify
-1/2z = -16/3
Then, multiply both sides by -2
(-1/2z) (-2) = (-16/3) (-2)
Then, simplify
z = 32/3
