Question

What is the solution to the equation?
3 - z/4 = 8


A.
z = –44

B.
z = –20

C.
z = 20

D.
z = 44

Answer 1

Multiply each term by 4 to remove the fraction and then solve for z.

Answer 2

C subtract 3 from each side then multiply each side by 4

Answer 3

\[\frac{ 3-z }{ 4 }=8\] Was this the original equation?

Answer 4

or this:\[3-\frac{ z }{ 4 }=8\]

Answer 5

No

Answer 6

The 2nd one

Answer 7

In that case the answer is z=-20
Multiply each term by 4
\[4(3)-4(\frac{ z }{ 4 })=4(8)\] You get \[12-z=32\] Then add z to each side and subtract 32 from each side and you get z=-20
