Arthur Dent is trying to solve the equation z- 18x = 19. He decides to add 81 to each side of the equation to get z-18z + 81 = 100. Using this information answer the following questions in the text box below. Where appropriate, use the equation editor to enter mathematical expressions. (Remember: While I expect you to make an effort with the equation editor, if your formatting is incorrect on the computer, but correct on your paper, I will accept the paper formatting) a) Why did Arthur Dent do this? (Hint: what method for solving might he have been using?) b) Briefly explain (2-3 sentences) a different method for solving this equation. c) Using a method of your choice, solve the equation for z. List your results here.
