1/2+6/z=5/6

Question

I need help solving this

Answer 1

½+6/z=5/6. Reduce ½ to the simple fraction with denominator 6.

3/6+6/z=5/6. Move 3/6 to the right side of the equation.

6/z=5/6-3/6

6/z=2/6=1/3.

 

Solve this proportion for z. You can say that if 6 to z as one to three, then z to 6 is as three to one, that is

z/6=3.

 

Hope it helps.
