Answer: The correct option is (D) -5.
Step-by-step explanation: We are to find the value of z for the following equation :
"fraction 1 over 3 z = −fraction 5 over 6 + fraction 1 over 6 z".
The given equation can be written and solved as follows :
[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}z=-\dfrac{5}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}z\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3}z-\dfrac{1}{6}z=-\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2-1}{6}z=-\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{6}z=-\dfrac{5}{6}\\\\\\\Rightarrow z=-5.[/tex]
Thus, the required value of z is -5.
Option (D) is CORRECT.
