Question

Write an equation to represent: four-fifths of z added to six equals eight.

A) 4z + 6 = 8
B) 5(z + 6) = 8
C) 6 + z = 8
D) (6/5)z + 6 = 8

Answer 1

The equation to represent four-fifths of z added to six equals eight is (6/5)z + 6 = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent the given equation, we need to translate the words into mathematical expressions:

Four-fifths of z can be written as (4/5)z.

Adding six can be written as +6.

So the equation becomes (4/5)z + 6 = 8.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) (6/5)z + 6 = 8.
