Question

What is Z?

⅓ (z + 4) - 6 = ⅔ (5 - z)

Answer 1

z = 8

Explanation:

⅓(z+4)-6 = ⅔(5-z)

multiply both part of the equation by 3

3×⅓(z+4)- 3×6 = 3×⅔(5-z)

z + 4 -18 = 2(5-z)

z-14 =10-2z

grouping like terms

z+2z =10+14

3z = 24

Now, divide both side of the equation(3z=24) by 3

3z/3 = 24/3

z =8
