What is the solution to the equation 5 ( z - 10 ) = 65 when solving for x?

Complete the statement x = _

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 5 ( z - 10 ) = 65 \) for \( z \), follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides by 5: \[ z - 10 = \frac{65}{5} \] \[ z - 10 = 13 \]

  2. Add 10 to both sides: \[ z = 13 + 10 \] \[ z = 23 \]

Thus, the solution is \( z = 23 \).

Since you requested the solution in the form \( x = _ \), we can rewrite it as: \[ x = 23 \]
