I am just now learning hw to do stuff like this and my teacher assigned this problem and it is super hard for me, again I tried it on my calculator but i dont know what to do so if you could help me it would be great.
Although [Mathematics.SE] related question and not about programming, it might be helpful to learn the steps in solving problems like this
You have (added parenthesis for clarity)
(-2.4) = z / (-4)
and you need to isolate the unknown variable z. The rule in algebra is whatever you do to one side of the = sign, do unto the other and the equality will hold.
So multiply both sides with (-4) to get
(-2.4) * (-4) = z
or multiply both sides with (-1) first to eliminate the negative signs to get
(2.4) = z /(4)
and then multiply both sides with (4)
(4)(2.4) = z
or
(9.6) = z
