z = 4a - 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find a

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Then you only want a on the right side. So you will have to add both sides with 7, and divide both sides with 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

z / +7 = 4a - 7 / +7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

likethat?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Do it one by one. Since a is multiplied to 4, you will have to do the division last. First you add 7 to get z+7=4a Only then you can divide by 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy so z+7=4a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

z+7/4 = a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i that right?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Close. You have to divide everything by 4. When you write it that way, it means you divide 7 by 4 and add to z on the left hand side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how do i write it down? O_o

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

You should write (z+7)/4=a or\[\frac{ z+7 }{ 4 }=a\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh, so thats it?

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O_o thanks!

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Unless you are given z, that's all you can do. You're welcome.
