Given to solve:
.
.
Square both sides. For the left side this involves multiplying:
.
.
and you can do this by the FOIL process to get:
.
.
To simplify this, note that .
.
Also note that
.
And finally note that
.
Make these changes and the squared left side becomes:
.
.
Squaring the right side results in:
.
So when both sides of this equation are squared the result is:
.
.
Note that you have a +z on the left side and a +z on the right side. Subtracting z from both sides eliminates these two terms and you are left with:
.
.
Combine the 9 and the -10 on the left side and you have:
.
.
Get rid of the -1 on the left side by adding +1 to both sides to get:
.
.
Divide both sides by 6 and the equation is then:
.
.
Now square both sides and you have:
.
.
Finally eliminate the -10 on the left side by adding 10 to both sides and the answer you are looking for becomes:
.
.
You can check this out by returning to the original equation:
.
.
and substituting 11 for z to get:
.
.
This simplifies to:
.
.
and taking the square roots results in:
.
.
This is obviously true, so the answer z = 11 checks.
.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem.
