Question

Solve the equation. Check your solution.

$z+14.5=5.4$

Answer 1

Step 1 : Solve the equation

$\Rightarrow z+14.5=5.4$

$\Rightarrow z+14.5–14.5=5.4–14.5$ [ Subtract $14.5$ from both sides ]

$\therefore z=-9.1$

Step 2 : Checking the solution

Check the solution by putting $z=-9.1$ in the given inequality

We have, $z+14.5=5.4$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow -9.1+14.5=5.4 \\ \Rightarrow 5.4=5.4 \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required solution is $z=-9.1$
