Q. Solve for z.Assume the equation has a solution for z.−p⋅(d+z)=−2z+59z=□
Identify the system: Identify the system of equations.We have the following system of equations:1. −p(d+z)=−2z+592. z=□ (We need to find the value of z)
Isolate in the first equation: Isolate in the first equation.To isolate , we need to distribute the across and then move all terms containing to one side of the equation.
Combine like terms: Combine like terms.\newlineAdd pimeszp imes zpimesz to both sides of the equation to get all the zzz terms on one side.\newline−pimesd=−2z+pimesz+59-p imes d = -2z + p imes z + 59−pimesd=−2z+pimesz+59
Factor out z z z on the right side: Factor out z z z on the right side of the equation. −p⋅d=z⋅(−2+p)+59 -p \cdot d = z \cdot (-2 + p) + 59 −p⋅d=z⋅(−2+p)+59
Isolate zzz by subtracting 595959: Isolate zzz by subtracting 595959 from both sides and then dividing by (−2+p)(-2 + p)(−2+p).\newline−p⋅d−59=z⋅(−2+p)-p \cdot d - 59 = z \cdot (-2 + p)−p⋅d−59=z⋅(−2+p)\newlinez=−p⋅d−59−2+pz = \frac{-p \cdot d - 59}{-2 + p}z=−2+p−p⋅d−59
Check if the value of p is valid: Check if the value of p is such that the denominator is not zero.\newlineWe must ensure that −2-2−2 + p \neq 000, otherwise, we cannot divide by zero. Since we are not given a specific value for p, we assume that p \neq 222, which is a condition for the solution to exist.
