Question

How do you solve 10(z-2)=1+4

Answer 1

I'm assuming you want us to solve for the unknown variable z

$10(z-2)=1+4$

Combine like terms on the right side

$10(z-2)=5$

Use the distributive property on the left side

$10z-20=5$

Add both sides by 20 to cancel out the "-20" on the left side

$10z=25$

Divide both sides by 10

$z=2.5$

That is the value of the known variable, z, in this equation. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer 2

Answer: z=5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

10(z-2)=1+4

10(z−2)=5

z-2=5/10

x-2=1/2

z=1/2+2

z=5/2
