\[{z\over-28}= 49-44\]\[{z\over-28}=5\]\[z=-140\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How did you get -140? I got up to z/-28=5, but I don't know how you did the rest.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You bring -28 over the other side, thereby multiplying 5 by -28.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[z/-28+44 = 49\]
first you might like to multiply by reciprocal
-28+44 ( z /-28+44 ) = 49 (-28+49)
z = 49 (- 28 + 49)
can you do the rest?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[{z}= 5\times-28 \]

Ok.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just multiply the whole equation by
-28+44
first
this will make your problem much easier
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its just the same as what order did
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but faster :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I've never seem your method.... I find my method pretty neat ;)

well it just the same
i just do it in 1 step
z/-28+44 = 49
-28+44 [ z / -28+44 = 49 ] fraction go bb
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u did it in 2 steps i did it in 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yup, It's quicker, but the numbers are much larger to work with...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
same thing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
z/-28+44 = 49
-28+44 [ z / -28+44 = 49 ]
z = 49( -28+44 )
z = 784

:/
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm i always do something wrong
lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I know, it's because you multiplied the whole equation by -28+44..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You're first meant to subtract 44 from 49
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats not incorrect
