What is the value of z for the equation 1/4z = –7/8 + 1/8z? –3 –7 3 7 (the numbers/numbers are fractions)

The first step for solving this equation is to determine the defined range.
, z ≠ 0
Move the expression to the left side of the equation and change its sign.
-  = 
Now we need to write all numerators above the least common denominator of 8z. This will change the equation to the following:
=
Simplify the equation using cross multiplication.
8 = -56z
Switch the sides of the equation.
-56z = 8
Divide both sides of the equation by -56.
, z ≠ 0
Lastly,, check if the solution is in the defined range to get your final answer.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

If there are four friends then each would get, 1.25 or 1 1/4. so this is how i solved 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25 . hope this ; )
