Question 23921
<pre><b><font size = 4>3/4z = -5 1/2

First change -5 1/2 to -11/2

3/4z = -11/2

Clear of fractions by multiplying both sides by LCD = 4

4(3/4z) = 4(-11/2)

     3x = -22

Divide both sides by 3

   3x/3 = -22/3

      x = -22/3

Or, if you prefer a mixed fraction:

      x = -7 1/3
