what is the solution of the equation 10 (z - 1) = 50 when solving for z?

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 10 (z - 1) = 50 \) for \( z \), follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides of the equation by 10:

    \[ z - 1 = \frac{50}{10} \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ z - 1 = 5 \]

  2. Next, add 1 to both sides:

    \[ z = 5 + 1 \]

    Therefore:

    \[ z = 6 \]

So, the solution for \( z \) is \( \boxed{6} \).
