Solve the equation 7/z-1 = 9/z+4

Mathematics
1 answer:
algol [13]3 years ago

Answer:

z is equal to 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When an equation is in the format a/b = c/d, the quickest way to simplify it is to cross multiply.  Each side is multiplied by the other sides denominator, eliminating the division:

\frac{7}{z-1} = \frac{9}{z + 4}\\7(z + 4) = 9(z - 1)\\7z + 28 = 9z - 9\\7z - 9z = -9 - 28\\-2z = -37\\z = 37/2\\z = 18.5

So z is equal to 18.5

valkas [14]
You have the starting price of $1.99. To get the increased price, divide 1.99 by .56 (.56 is the decimal form of 56%). You would get $3.55. This is for the year 2007. So for 2008, divide 3.55 by .42. The answer is $8.45. You can check the answers by multiplying the answers you go the the percentage. Ex. 8.45* .42=3.55 (rounded)
