Thread: Solving for z

g=h(x+y/z-x) solve for z

The solution I keep getting is...

z= hx+hy-gx/-g

should this be the correct answer?

If you mean :



then solution should be :

The book show something totally different

1. What does the book show?

2. What have you tried?

How do you all show the formating of your formulas? Makes it easier for me to show my work to you.

It's called LaTeX. There is a LaTeX subforum on this site where you can get some help on the coding.

Ok here's what I did....

g=h(x+y/x-z) for z

multiply both sides by (x-z)

g(x-z) = h(x+y)

gx-gz-gx = hx+hy-gx (clear parentheses and subtract "gx" from both sides)

-gz = hx+hy-gx

z = hx+hy-gx/-g

Let me know if this makes sense.

-gz = hx+hy-gx

z = (hx+hy-gx)/-g

With the necessary modification, what you have is fine.
