Algebra.Com's Answer #646580 by addingup(3677)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve: 3zē=12z \n" ); document.write( "3zē=12z \n" ); document.write( "3zē-12z = 0 \n" ); document.write( "3z(z-4) = 0 Divide both sides by 3 (and remember 0/3 = 0) \n" ); document.write( "z(z-4) = 0 Now split this into 2 equations: \n" ); document.write( "z = 0 \n" ); document.write( "or \n" ); document.write( "z-4 = 0 Add 4 on both sides: \n" ); document.write( "z = 4 \n" ); document.write( "There you have it, z=0 or z=4 {0,4}\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
