Solve z=x-87.3/12

$$z = \frac { x - 87.3 } { 12 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=12z+87.3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide each term of x-87.3 by 12 to get \frac{1}{12}x-7.275.

$$z=\frac{1}{12}x-7.275$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{1}{12}x-7.275=z$$

Add 7.275 to both sides.

$$\frac{1}{12}x=z+7.275$$

Multiply both sides by 12.

$$\frac{\frac{1}{12}x}{\frac{1}{12}}=\frac{z+7.275}{\frac{1}{12}}$$

Dividing by \frac{1}{12} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{12}.

$$x=\frac{z+7.275}{\frac{1}{12}}$$

Divide z+7.275 by \frac{1}{12} by multiplying z+7.275 by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{12}.

$$x=12z+87.3$$

Solve for z

$$z=\frac{x}{12}-7.275$$

Solution Steps

Divide each term of x-87.3 by 12 to get \frac{1}{12}x-7.275.

$$z=\frac{1}{12}x-7.275$$
