1/2z+7=16-3/5z solve the equation and check solution
-----
(1/2)z = 9 - (3/5)z
-------
Multiply thru by 10 to get:
5z = 90 - 6z
----
11z = 90
z = 90/11
-----------
Cheers,
------------------
Check::
(1/2)z + 7 = 16 - (3/5)z
---
(1/2)(90/11) = 9 - (3/5)(90/11)
-----
45/11 = 99/11 - (55/11)
-----
45/11 = 44/11
