mmm what is (11-7)z =
OpenStudy (erniellyd28):
4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes...
11z-3-7z=9 means
(11-7)z-3 = 9
which gives
4z-3 = 9;
Now do you want to solve for z?
OpenStudy (erniellyd28):
thats where i get stuck
OpenStudy (erniellyd28):
3 to get 9?
Still Need Help?

sorry my message didnt sent completely
OpenStudy (erniellyd28):
do i find a number to multiply
OpenStudy (erniellyd28):
do i find a number to multiply 4 with and then subtract it from 3 to get 9?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well let us get moving fromwher you got stuck.....
equality has a property that if you add or subtract or multiply or divide by same number on both side of equality the result won't be altered....
so.... that is
a+b =x
is same as
a+b+c= x+c
a+b-c= x-c
(a+b)*c= x*c
(a+b)/c = x/c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes you can find a number which satisfies your rlation by using above property of equality

any idea how?
OpenStudy (erniellyd28):
4 times 3 =12-3=9?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How you got 4 times 3??
OpenStudy (erniellyd28):
4z= 4(3)=12
or am i wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes... the method you followed is a round about way...but there is an alternate simple 100% guarntry way using the above property wanna learn it?

yes please
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:)
so aftr simplification of 11z-3-7z=9
we got
4z-3 = 9
now add 3 to both sides of equality ( the result will not change because of the property
a+b =x is same as a+b+c= x+c)
what you get
OpenStudy (erniellyd28):
12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
please type full equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
means both RHS and LHS

rhs? lhs?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
means RHS = Right Hand Side
LHS = Left Hand Side
