Question 370388: I am having problems with evaluating expression, especially in a fraction and even worse in check to determine if my answer is correct. Here is one I am having problems with:
4(2z-3)/7 = 3z-11
(this is 4(2z-3) over 7
Thank you and can you show me how to properly check my answer.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4(2z-3)/7 = 3z-11
Multiply both sides by 7 to get:
4(2z-3) = 21z-77
---
8z-12 = 21z-77
13z = 65
z = 5
------------
Checking:
4(2z-3)/7 = 3z-11
4(10-3)/7 = 15-11
4(7/7) = 4
4 = 4
