Solve for z. z/5+3=2 (1 point) Responses 5 5 −15 negative 1 fifth -5 -5 15

1 answer

To solve for z, we can begin by isolating z on one side of the equation.

Given the equation z/5 + 3 = 2, we can subtract 3 from both sides to get:

z/5 = -1

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the fraction:

5(z/5) = 5(-1)

This simplifies to:

z = -5

Therefore, the solution for z is -5.
