Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of z is -7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we will follow the step below;

1/4 z = -7/8 + 1/8 z

Subtract 1/8 z from both-side of the equation

1/4 z - 1/8 z = -7/8

2z - z /8 = -7/8

z/8= -7/8

Multiply both-side of the equation by 8

z/8    ×   8   =   -7/8    ×  8

At the left-hand side of the equation 8 will cancel-out 8 leaving us with just z while on the right-hand side of the equation 8 will also cancel-out 8 leaving us with negative seven

z = -7

The value of z is -7

Answer 2

1/4z = −7/8 + 1/8z so z = -7
