Solve for z.

Question

z over 5+3=2

Answer 1

To solve for z in the equation z/5+3=2, we first need to isolate the variable z.

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:
(z/5) + 3 - 3 = 2 - 3
(z/5) = -1

Next, multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction:
5 * (z/5) = -1 * 5
z = -5

Therefore, the solution for z is -5.
