To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parentheses:
z = 5x + 40
Next, subtract 40 from both sides of the equation to isolate 5x:
z - 40 = 5x
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:
(x = (z - 40)/5)
Solve for x z=5(x+8)
