Solve for z.

z/5+3=2

1 answer

To solve for z, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:

z/5 + 3 = 2

Subtracting 3 from both sides:

z/5 = 2 - 3

z/5 = -1

To isolate z, multiply both sides of the equation by 5:

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

The 5 on the left side cancels out, leaving:

z = -5

Therefore, z = -5.
