Solve for zz.

26, minus, 5, z, equals, minus, 49
26−5z=
−49

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 26 - 5z = -49 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 26 from both sides of the equation:

    \[ 26 - 5z - 26 = -49 - 26 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ -5z = -75 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by -5 to isolate \( z \):

    \[ z = \frac{-75}{-5} \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ z = 15 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ z = 15 \]
