Answer:

z = 1.8

Explanation:

What is the solution to the equation 7.5z−3=10.5?

7.5z - 3 = 10.5

7.5z = 13.5

z = 13.5 : 7.5

z = 1.8

------------------

check

7.5 * 1.8 - 3 = 10.5

13.5 - 3 = 10.5

10.5 = 10.5

the answer is good

Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction


7.5z - 3 = 10.5


(15z)/(2) - 3 = 10.5

Find common denominator


(15z)/(2) - 3 = 10.5


(15z)/(2) + (2( - 3))/(2) = 10.5

Combine fractions with common denominator


(15z)/(2) + (2( - 3))/(2) = 10.5


(5z + 2( - 3))/(2) = 10.5


z = 1.8
