EXPLANATION

The perimeter Perimeter is given by the sum of the sides as follows:

P = z + 5 + z + 5 + z + z

Substituting P=26 and adding like terms,

26 = 10 + 4z

Subtracting -10 to both sides:

26 - 10 = 10 - 10 + 4z

Simplifying:

16 = 4z

Dividing both sides by 4:

16/4 = z

Switching and simplifying:

z = 4

So,

Equation: 26 = 10 + 4z

z = 4
