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.

-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
