Need some help with this problem:
6/z = 9/z - 1/11
Multiply thru by 11z to get:
66 = 99 - z
z = 33

6/z=9/z-1/11
Group like terms together as:
6/z-9/z = -1/11
Look for the LCF of the equation on the left. In this case, the LCF is Z. So you will factorise as:
6-9/z = -1/11
-3/Z = -1/11
Use cross multiplication technique to eliminate the fraction.
-3 (11) = Z (-1)
-33 = -Z
Divide both sides by the negative sign or by -1
-33/-1 = -Z/-1
and the final answer will be:
Z = 33
