 Solve for z when 4x + 10yz = 0 solve for z if y2 + 3yz - 8z - 4x = 0? Do I have to solve all of the variables in order to get z?  |

 Hi, You just solve for z treating the other variables and numbers as symbols. For example in the first problem add -4x to each side to get 
 Next divide both sides by 10y to get 
 Now try the second problem. Penny  |
