z = –seven-thirds
z = – Image with alt text: seven-thirds

z = 2
z = 2

z = –21
z = –21

z = 21
z = 21

Answer 1

To solve the equation –7 = z/3, we need to isolate the variable z.

First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to remove the fraction:

3 * –7 = 3 * (z/3)

–21 = z

So the solution to the equation is z = –21.
