26-5z=-49

1 answer

To solve the equation 26-5z=-49, we need to isolate the variable z.

First, we can move 26 to the right side by subtracting it from both sides of the equation:

26 - 26 - 5z = -49 - 26

This simplifies to:

-5z = -75

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by -5 to solve for z:

-5z / -5 = -75 / -5

This simplifies to:

z = 15

So the solution to the equation 26-5z=-49 is z = 15.
