What is the solution for -8+(1/2)z=2

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Liri, I'm so pleased to see that you're using those parentheses around your fractions. Crystal clear! Since you have only one fraction here, (1/2), what is the LCD? Identify the LCD and then multiply each terms of your original equation by that quantity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LCD is 2?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Right on. Multiply each of your three terms by that. Note that 2*(1/2) = 1.

I might have saved that for the second step. It's less messy. Just my personal opinion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mathmale is it -18
