Question

What value of z makes the equation true? 0.2z -8 =0.4z -7

Answer 1

X= -0.4545

Explanation:

YOU HAVE TO SUBTRACT .2Z FROM .4Z WHICH GETS YOU .2 ON THE RIGHT SIDE

THAT WOULD MEAN YOU HAVE TO CLEAR OUT THE SEVEN BY ADDING IT ON BOTH SIDES GETTING -1

THEN YOU WOULD HAVE -1=.2Z

THEN DIVIDE BY .2 GETTING YOU A TOTAL OF -0.4545 WHEN YOU FINISH DIVIDING
