How do you solve #Z-17.2 = 7.13#?

Answer 1

Abigail Allen

Add #17.2# to BOTH sides of the equation.......

#Z-17.2=7.13#. And now add #17.2# to BOTH sides of the equation and we maintain the equality:

#Z-17.2+17.2=7.13+17.2#

#Z=7.13+17.2=?????#

To solve the equation Z - 17.2 = 7.13, you would first add 17.2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable Z. This gives you Z = 7.13 + 17.2. Then, you would perform the addition to find the value of Z.
