Question

Simplify (8z - 10) ÷ (-2) + 5(z - 1). OZ OZ-1 Oz-2

Answer 1

Answer:

A) z

Step-by-step explanation:

(8z - 10) ÷ (-2) + 5(z - 1)

1. Rewrite:

 $\large \textsf{ \dfrac{(8x-10)}{-2}+5(z-1) }$

2. Distribute 5

$\large \textsf{ 5(z-1) }\\\\\large \textsf{ 5(z)+5(-1) }\\\\\large \textsf{ 5z-5 }$

Now we have:

$\large \textsf{ \dfrac{(8x-10)}{-2}+\large \textsf{ 5z-5 } }$

3. Reduce the fraction:

$\large \textsf{ \dfrac{(8x-10)}{-2}+\large \textsf{ 5z-5 } }\\\\\large \textsf{ -4x+5+5z-5 }$

4. Combine like terms:

$\large \textsf{ -4x+5+5z-5 }=\large \textsf{z}$

Final answer: z
