What is −13+2z=−56 Thanks
Zinaida [17]
<h3>Original Equation:</h3>

-\frac{1}{3}+2z=-\frac{5}{6}

<h3>Steps:</h3>

<em>*To solve for a variable, isolate the desired variable onto one side.</em>

Firstly, we want to add 1/3 to each side however -5/6 and 1/3 do not share the same denominator, and we want them to have that and we can do that by finding the LCD, or lowest common denominator. To find the LCD, list the multiples of 6 and 3 and the lowest multiple that they share is their LCD. In this case, their LCD is 6. Multiply -1/3 by 2/2:

-\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{2}{2}=-\frac{2}{6}\\\\-\frac{2}{6}+2z=-\frac{5}{6}

Now that we have common denominators, add both sides by 2/6:

2z=-\frac{3}{6}\\\\2z=-\frac{1}{2}

Next, you want to cancel out 2 to isolate z. Usually, one would divide both sides by 2, however remember that <u>dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by it's reciprocal.</u> To find a number's reciprocal, flip the numerator and denominator around. In this case, since 2 is a <em>whole number</em> this means that the denominator is 1. In this case: 2/1 would become 1/2. Multiply both sides by 1/2:

\frac{1}{2}\times 2z= -\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\z=-\frac{1}{4}

<h3>Final Answer:</h3>

<u>Your final answer is z = -1/4.</u>

which statements about the system are true? check all that apply. y = x – 4 3y – x = –7 the system has one solution. the system
Dmitrij [34]
The slope of the first equation has a slope of one and a y intercept of -4. The second equation has a y intercept of -2.3333 as seen when plugging in 0 for x, so the same y-intercept and same line are out of the question. This means either they have the same slope and thus are parallel or intersect at some point. A simple way to find out? Plug in 1 for x on the second. If it isn't -1.33333, which is a slope of positive 1 such as in the first equation, they WILL INTERSECT somewhere. When plugging in 1, we get
 3y - 1 = -7
3y = -6
y = -2
(1, -2) is the next point after (0, -2.3333)
That means it is most certainly not the same slope, and thus they will intersect at some point. The two slopes are 1/1 and 1/3 if you weren't aware.
