Q. Solve for z z . Express your answer as a proper or improper fraction in simplest terms.\newline12+710z=13 -\frac{1}{2}+\frac{7}{10} z=-\frac{1}{3} \newlineAnswer: z= z=
  1. Isolate z term: Isolate the term containing z.\newlineTo isolate the term with z, we need to move the constant term to the other side of the equation by adding 12\frac{1}{2} to both sides.\newline12+710z+12=13+12-\frac{1}{2} + \frac{7}{10}z + \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2}
  2. Calculate sum on right side: Calculate the sum on the right side of the equation.\newlineWe need to find a common denominator to add the fractions on the right side. The common denominator for 33 and 22 is 66.\newline(1)/(3)+(1)/(2)=(2)/(6)+(3)/(6)=(1)/(6)-(1)/(3) + (1)/(2) = -(2)/(6) + (3)/(6) = (1)/(6)
  3. Simplify left side: Simplify the left side of the equation.\newlineThe constant terms on the left side cancel each other out, leaving us with:\newline(710z=16)(\frac{7}{10}z = \frac{1}{6})
  4. Solve for z: Solve for z.\newlineTo solve for z, we need to divide both sides of the equation by (710)(\frac{7}{10}), which is the coefficient of z.\newlinez=16÷710z = \frac{1}{6} \div \frac{7}{10}
  5. Perform division: Perform the division to find zz.\newlineTo divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal.\newlinez=16×107z = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{10}{7}\newlinez=1042z = \frac{10}{42}
  6. Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction.\newlineThe fraction (10)/(42)(10)/(42) can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 22.\newlinez=(10/2)/(42/2)z = (10/2)/(42/2)\newlinez=(5)/(21)z = (5)/(21)
