Answer:

z = 9

Explanation:

X is not a valve is it a multiplication sign. I believe that you are looking for the value of z.

To find the value of z you simply have to count how many times you moved the decimal point. In this case you move the decimal point 9 times. Since you move it to the left z is positive. Z=9
