Question

solving linear equation
-7/8=-5/6z

Answer 1

Divide both sides by -5/6 to isolate z.

Answer 2

i tried but i got way different answer then book

Answer 3

Can you show me your work?

Answer 4

-0.875*0.833=z
0.729=z

Answer 5

Let me show you.

\[-\dfrac{7}{8} = -\dfrac{5}{6}z\]Divide both sides by \(-\dfrac{5}{6}\).
\[\dfrac{-\dfrac{7}{8}}{-\dfrac{5}{6}} = \dfrac{-\dfrac{5}{6}z}{-\dfrac{5}{6}}\]
\[\dfrac{-\dfrac{7}{8}}{-\dfrac{5}{6}} = z\]
Is this clear?

Answer 6

but how the answer is 21/20

Answer 7

now i got it -7/8*6/5=z
z=42/40
or 21/20

Answer 8

Glad you got it.
