Question
Solve the following equation: 7z + 15 = 3z – 13
Advertisements
Solution
7z + 15 = 3z – 13
⇒ 7z + 15 - 3z = 3z - 13 - 3z (Subtracting 3z from both sides)
⇒ 4z + 15 = - 13
⇒ 4z + 15 - 15 = - 13 - 15 ...(Subtracting 15 from both sides)
⇒ 4z = - 28
⇒ `"4z"/4 = (- 28)/4` ...(Dividing by 4)
⇒ z = - 7
