solve z + 8/z = -9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Move everything to one side, multiply both sides by z, and solve the quadratic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It may not come up, but it's important to remember when you do this that z cannot equal 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it (z+8)/z or z + (8/z) on the left side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so when you multiply by z you get \[z^2 + 8 = -9z\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you move the -9z to the other side you'll have a quadratic equation you can solve.
