Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the equation \(\frac{z}{3} = -11\), we need to isolate \(z\). This can be done by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3. After finding the value of \(z\), we can check the solution by substituting it back into the original equation.
Step 1: Isolate \( z \)
To solve the equation \(\frac{z}{3} = -11\), we need to isolate \( z \). We do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3:
\[
z = -11 \times 3
\]
Step 2: Calculate \( z \)
Perform the multiplication:
\[
z = -33
\]
Step 3: Verify the Solution
To verify the solution, substitute \( z = -33 \) back into the original equation:
\[
\frac{-33}{3} = -11
\]
Since the left-hand side equals the right-hand side, the solution is verified.
