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.
Solve for z.
z/5+3=2
