Question

2+3x=4y+5z
______
6

for Z... All answers are some variation of

z=12+18x+24y
_____________
5

I'm doing the line system because I was afraid it could be confused with just 5z/6 instead of 4y+5z all over 6.

Answer 1

you can type it like this

2+3x=(4y+5z)/6

Answer 2

Okay, I just wasn't sure if putting those in ()'s changed the equation at all.

Answer 3

anyways, first you multiply both sides by 6


2+3x=(4y+5z)/6

6*(2+3x)=6*(4y+5z)/6

12+18x=4y+5z

Answer 4

what's next?

Answer 5

12+18x=24y+30z?

Answer 6

Then 12+18x-24y=30z, right?

Answer 7

Should I not have multiplied 5 and 6? Or what am I supposed to do now?

Answer 8

when you multiply (4y+5z)/6 by 6, the two '6' terms divide to 1

1 times anything is the same number, so the '6's go away more or less

Answer 9

(4y+5z)/6 will turn into 4y+5z after you multiply the right side by 6

Answer 10

Okay. So z=(12+18x-4y)/5.

Answer 11

correct

Answer 12

Thank you!

Answer 13

sure thing
