Question

Solve the following equation:

–7 = eleven over seventeen times z

A. z = Negative seventeen over seventy seven.
B. z = Negative seventy seven over seventeen.
C. z = Negative one hundred nineteen over eleven.
D. z = Negative eleven over one hundred nineteen.

Answer 1

To solve the equation -7 = 11/17 * z, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 11/17, which is 17/11. This gives us z = -17/11.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation -7 = 11/17 * z, we need to isolate z. Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 11/17, which is 17/11. This gives us:

-7 * 17/11 = z

Simplifying the left side of the equation, we get:

z = -17/11

So the correct option is A. z = Negative seventeen over seventy seven.
