Answer:

w= -\frac{7}{2} z

Step-by-step explanation:

 5w + 9z = 2z +3w

       <u>- 9z = -9z</u>

5w = -7z + 3w

<u>-3w          - 3w</u>

2w = -7z

<u>/2      /2</u>

w = -\frac{7}{2} z

When solving for a variable, you get the variable you're trying to solve for on one side and everything to the opposite of that variable.

We have the equation <span>5w + 9z = 2z + 3w.

Usually the variable we're solving for we want on the left. But it's fine to have it on the right side, too.

Let's subtract 9z from the left-hand side. That way, the 5w will be alone on the left-hand side.

And remember, anything we do on one side we do to the other side.

</span><span>5w + 9z - 9z = 2z + 3w - 9z
</span><span>5w = -7z + 3w

The 3w term on the right-hand side needs to be removed. So, subtract each side by 3w.

5w - 3w = -7z + 3w - 3w
2w = -7z

Now, we need to divide each side by 2 to see what the w variable is equal to.

2w / 2 = -7z / 2
w = -7z / 2 or w = -3.5z

So, w is equal to -3.5z.

ok so if you have 3 and 1/4 pizza and want to subtract 3/4 out of it,and get 3x more slices then you had from a friend after sub
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

You have 2 and 1/2 pizzas and your friend has 5/6 of a pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 3 1/4 pizzas. If you get rid of 3/4 of a pizza, you will end up with 2 2/4 pizzas.

To make it easier, you can just change the values into improper fractions: 3 1/4 = 13/4

13/4 - 3/4 = 10/4

10/4 = 2 2/4 pizzas

(2 2/4 = 2 1/2)

Anyways! You now have 2 and a half pizzas. You have 3 times the amount of pizza that your friend has. In other words, your friend has 1/3 the amount of pizza that you have. You can solve for this in two ways, whichever way you solve it is up to you.

  1. You can solve this problem by dividing the amount of food you have by 3: \frac{2\frac{1}{2} }{3} which equals 0.8333... (the 3 is repeating). But you can just keep your final answer in fraction form if you want to: \frac{2.5}{3} = \frac{5}{6}
  2. You can solve this problem by multiplying 1/3 to the amount of food you have: \frac{1}{3} * 2 \frac{2}{4}\\=\frac{10}{12}\\ =\frac{5}{6}

You have 2 and 1/2 pizzas and your friend has 5/6 of a pizza.
