How do you simplify this equation?

58z/ -.5 could be looked at as 58z / .5 and then made negative later and than since .5 is the same as 1/2 as a fraction, you can flip that and then do multiplication

so it would turn into 58z TIMES 2/1, or 2 and then make it negative and that is -116z as your answer

One way would be to multiply the numerator and denominator by 10:

58z / -0.5

= 580z / -5

= -(580/5) z

= -116z

So the answer is: -116z.

dividing by a negative changes the original sign

dividing by 1/2 is multiplying by 2

thus the answer is -116z

58z divide by negative 0.5?

its equal to

(-58/0.5)z

or (-)116z

58z/-.5=-(58z/.5)=-(58*z/(1/2))=-(58*2*z)=-116z

Sorry im lost at equation!

good luck

multiply both sides by 2 so you get -116z

-116z

I should not be doing your homework, but you divided a whole number by a decimal.

she explained it you just didn't listen to busy talking eh???

-116z
