Question 127296: Find all the numbers for which the rational expression is undefined.
I got to the point that I rewrote the problem as:
7z+5 = 0
But, I'm stuck now. I know I should be able to solve for z at this point, but I keep getting the wrong answer. What could I be doing wrong? Did I set the problem up wrong to begin with?

7z=-5
z=-5/7 answer. IF you got this far correctly.

Well if we solve for z, we get...


Start with the given equation



Subtract 5 from both sides


Combine like terms on the right side


Divide both sides by 7 to isolate z



Reduce
