Exercise 30 Page 443

Use the Addition Property of Equality to eliminate the subtraction.

z=5.8

Practice makes perfect

To solve the equation, we have to isolate z on one side. Using the Addition Property of Equality, we can add 9.4 to both sides of the equation. This will eliminate subtraction on the left-hand side and isolate z.

z-9.4=-3.6

LHS+ 9.4=RHS+ 9.4

z-9.4+ 9.4=-3.6+ 9.4

Add terms

z=5.8

To check that this solution is correct, let's substitute z=5.8 into the original equation and simplify.

z-9.4=-3.6

z= 5.8

5.8-9.4? =-3.6

Subtract term

-3.6=-3.6 ✓

Because the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, z=5.8 is the correct solution.
