z=-4

Answer 2

Answer: z = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5z + -8 = -28

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 5z = -28

Solving

-8 + 5z = -28

Solving for variable 'z'.

Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 8 + 5z = -28 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

0 + 5z = -28 + 8

5z = -28 + 8

Combine like terms: -28 + 8 = -20

5z = -20

Divide each side by '5'.

z = -4

Simplifying

z = -4    Hope this helps !
