Question

Solve for z -
-4.75 = z/2 (z/2 is a fraction)

z = ____

Answer 1

z= -9.5

Explanation:

To solve for z, we need to get z by itself.

-4.75=z/2

z is being divided by 2. To undo this, multiply both sides by 2, since multiplication is the opposite of division. This will cancel out the 2 on the right, and leave z by itself.

2*-4.75=z/2*2

-9.5=z

So, z= -9.5
