Answer:

No, z =9 isn't a solution to 3z+8=25

Explanation:

Let's see if it is...


\sf 3z+8=25

Subtract 8 from both sides:-


\sf 3z+8-8=25-8


\sf 3z=17

Divide both sides by 3:-


\sf \cfrac{3z}{3}=\cfrac{17}{3}


\sf z=\cfrac{17}{3}\;\; or \;\; z=5.6666....

Therefore, no z = 9 isn't a solution to 3z+8=25.
