You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello, 5/z=8/z-1/2
 Start with,
 moving the second term on the left side,
 5/z - 8/z = -1/2
 Take the LCM " z"
 (5-8)/z = -1/2
 -3/z = -1/2
 cancel the both negative signs,
 3/z = 1/2
 Cross multiply the terms,
 3*2  = 1*z
 6 = z
 So,
 z = 6
 Hope u got your answer.
 THank you!

 Multiply thru by 2z
 10 = 16 - z
 z = 6
