Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term on one side.We want to get z by itself on one side of the equation. To do this, we will first move the constant term (16) to the other side by subtracting 16 from both sides of the equation.−1211z+16−16=49−16
Simplify equation: Simplify both sides of the equation.After subtracting 16 from both sides, we get:−(1211)z=49−16−(1211)z=33
Solve for z: Solve for z.To solve for z, we need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of −1211, which is −1112.z=33×(−1112)
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the value of z.Now we multiply 33 by −1112 to find the value of z.z=33×(−1112)z=−11396z=−36
