Question

Solve the equation for the variable. 5.3 = 2 - 2.7 I

Answer 1

We are asked to solve for the variable in the equation:

5.3 = z - 2.7

SO we need to isolate the variable "z" on one side of the equal sign. for that we add 2.7 to both sides:

5.3 + 2.7 = z - 2.7 + 2.7

combining like terms we get:

8 = z + 0

8 = z

Therefore z is 8.
