Explanation:
We want to remove the 8 first.
Step 1 : Since the original equation is minus 8 , we are going to use the opposite operation and add 8 to both sides.
⟶
Simplify -8 + 8 = 0 on the left. 32 + 8 = 40 on the right. Then we need to think about how to remove the coefficient 5.
⟶
Step 2 : Since the opposite of multiplication is division , we are going to divide both sides by 5.
⟶
Simplify. 5 / 5 = 1 on the left. 40/5 = 8 on the right. So , our answer is z = 8.
