Question

Solve for z -0.25z= -1.25

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \purple{z = 5}}}`

Explanation:

`\mathsf{ - 0.25z = - 1.25}`

Divide both sides of the equation by -0.25

`\mathsf{ ( - 0.25z)/( - 0.25) = ( - 1.25)/( - 0.25) }`

Calculate

`\mathsf{z = 5}`

Answer 2

z = 5

Explanation:

-0.25z= -1.25

Convert the decimals to improper fractions

That's

`- 1.25 = - (5)/(4)`

`- 0.25 = - (1)/(4)`

So we have

`- (1)/(4) z = - (5)/(4)`

Multiply through by 4

We have

- z = - 5

Divide both sides by - 1

the final answer is

z = 5
