Question

Given 16 = −5 + z4solve for z

Answer 1

Hi,

$16 = - 5 + z4 \\ - 4z + 16 = - 5 \\ - 4z = - 5 - 16 \\ - 4z = -21$

Now just divide both sides of equation by -4.

$z = \frac{21}{4}$

Simplify:

$z = 5 \frac{1}{4} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: fraction \: result$

Decimal form:

$z = 5.25 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: decimal \: result$

Hope this helps.
