To solve Z, you need to isolate Z.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

first you add 8 on both sides

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Start by adding 8 both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ z }{ 3 } = -1\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Next, since 3 is in bottom, to get rid of it, multiply 3 both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now how do you do that.?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Multiply 3 both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you multiply to a fraction..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

dont see the fraction, first multiply

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \frac{ z }{ 3 } = -1 \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try by keeping all variables at one side of equality & all constants on other side . Then cross multiply

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large 3 \times \frac{ z }{ 3 } = 3 \times -1 \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \cancel{3} \times \frac{ z }{ \cancel{3} } = -3 \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large z = -3 \)
