Isolate z: Which operation should be used to isolate z?In −0.95=1.6z−1.7, we should first add 1.7 to both sides to isolate the term containing z.Add 1.7 to both sides: −0.95+1.7=1.6z
Calculate sum: Calculate the sum on the left side of the equation.−0.95+1.7=0.75So, 0.75=1.6z
Solve for z: Which operation should be used to solve for z?Now, multiply both sides by 1.6 to solve for z.Multiply by 1.6: 0.75×1.6=z
Calculate product: Calculate the product to find the value of z.0.75×1.6=1.2So, z=1.2
