Question 199780: I'm trying to solve this equation that I translated.
The sum of a number z divided by 3 and the number. = z/3+z
I have the translation down right, but my online homeword from webassign.com is not recognizing 4z/3 as the correct answer. Is my answer wrong?

No you are correct. But there are many ways to enter that type of answer.

You could enter the answer as %284%2F3%29z or as or (note: chances are that the computer wants to see the answer as , but that's just my guess).

So this is why it helps to either see an example or ask the instructor the way the computer wants to see the answer.
