Simple Algebra Problem?

Fractions just aren't my thing! Can't figure this one out even though it looks so simple. If anyone can show me how to figure this out I would really really appreciate it!

-2/3z = -4/5

Solve for z.

Comments

  • -2/3z = -4/5

    Divide each side by -2/3 (which means multiplying by the reciprocal which is -3/2)

    (-2/3z) / (-2/3) = (-4/5) / (-2/3)

    Simplify

    z = 1.2

    hope this helps!

  • LCM of 3 &5 is 15

    JUST MULTIPLY BOTH SIDES BY 15

    -10z = -12

    z = 12/10 = 6/5 ANSWER

  • -2.5=-4.3z

    -10=-12z

    z=-10/-12=5/6
