What is the value of z for the equation 1/4z = –7/8 + 1/8z? –3 –7 3 7

1 answer:

6 0

The first step for solving this equation is to determine the defined range.
$\frac{1}{4z} = - \frac{7}{8} + \frac{1}{8z}$ , z ≠ 0
Move the expression $\frac{1}{8z}$ to the left side of the equation and change its sign.
$\frac{1}{4z}$ - $\frac{1}{8z}$ = $- \frac{7}{8}$
Now we need to write all numerators above the least common denominator of 8z. This will change the equation to the following:
$\frac{1}{8z}$ = $- \frac{7}{8}$
Simplify the equation using cross multiplication.
8 = -56z
Switch the sides of the equation.
-56z = 8
Divide both sides of the equation by -56.
$z = -\frac{1}{7}$ , z ≠ 0
Lastly,, check if the solution is in the defined range to get your final answer.
$z = -\frac{1}{7}$
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Latoya has b decks of cards . Each deck has 52 cards in it , what is the expression for the total numbers of cards latoya has

Lerok [7]

Answer:

52b

Step-by-step explanation:

She has 52 cards per deck, and b decks.

This means she has 52b cards.

How this works:

For 1 deck, she has 52 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 2 decks, she has 104 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 5 decks, she has 260 cards, or 52×5 cards.

For 10 decks, she has 520 cards, or 52×10 cards.

Therefore, for b decks, she has 52×b, or 52b cards.

What is the least common denominator of the four fractions listed below 20 7/10, 20 3/4, 18 9/10, 20 18/25

Feliz [49]

So what you do is see all the denomenators and factor them (denomenaotrs are the bottom numbres)

10,4,10,25
10=2 times 5
4=2 times 2
10=2 times 5
25=5 times 5
we need to include all of them so we need at leas two 2's, and two 5's
2 times 2 times 5 times 5=100
leact common denomator is 100

How do you solve 3 1/4 - 1 5/6

rjkz [21]

Answer:

to solve $3\frac{1}{4} -1\frac{5}{6}$ you would first need to convert them from mixed numbers to improper fractions. You can do this by multiplying the denominator with the whole number and then adding the numerator. Then you should make sure that the denominators are the same. You can do this by first finding a number that they will both multiply into. In this example it is 12. And when changing the denominator you must apply it to the numerator. So if you multiplied the denominator by 3 then you must multiply the numerator by 3. After you can just minus the numerators. However remember to keep the denominator the same. Then you can change it back into a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator and having that whole number on the side of the fraction . lets say it is $\frac{13}{6}$ then you would divide 13 by 6 which is 2 and a decimal and then minus the number that is multiplied by the numerator and it will give a number that is smaller than the denominator and then it would become $2\frac{1}{6}$ .
