Algebra.Com's Answer #51390 by bucky(2189) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! (z+7/9)+1={(2z+1)/6}/18 \n" ); document.write( "I did this... \n" ); document.write( "z+7/9+1*18=2z+1/6/18*18 <--- OK \n" ); document.write( "18z+126/9+18=2z+1/6 <---- OK \n" ); document.write( "2z+14+18=2z+1/6*6 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The previous step seems to be in error. One error is that you show multiplying by 6 on \n" ); document.write( "one side only. But it appears that this was a typo only, and in the next step below it \n" ); document.write( "appears as if you did also multiply the left side by 6. However, a significant error \n" ); document.write( "seems to be that on the left side in the line I marked OK, you had 18z on the left side \n" ); document.write( "and in the very next line it shows as 2z. What happened to the missing 16z? \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "12z+192-1=2z+1-1 <--- OK except the 12z should be 18z*6 = 108z \n" ); document.write( "12z+191=2z \n" ); document.write( "12z-12z+191=2z-12z \n" ); document.write( "191=-10z <--- the right side here should be -106z \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "z=-19.1 <--- weird as is seems, the correct answer to this problem is -191/106 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "You appear to have your act together about how to do problems like this. Just that one \n" ); document.write( "little mistake got you off track. Good going .... keep it up ... \n" ); document.write( " |
