Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine if $z = 24$ is a solution to the equation $11 - \frac{1}{3}z = \frac{1}{8}z$, substitute $z$ with 24 and simplify both sides. $$11 - \frac{1}{3}(24) = \frac{1}{8}(24)$$ $$11 - 8 = 3$$ $$3 = 3$$ Since both sides are equal, $z = 24$ is indeed a solution to the equation.
