Question

How do you solve 10(z-2)=1+4

Answer 1

Answer: z=5/2

Explanation:

10(z-2)=1+4

10(z−2)=5

z-2=5/10

x-2=1/2

z=1/2+2

z=5/2

Answer 2

I'm assuming you want us to solve for the unknown variable z

`10(z-2)=1+4`

Combine like terms on the right side

`10(z-2)=5`

Use the distributive property on the left side

`10z-20=5`

Add both sides by 20 to cancel out the "-20" on the left side

`10z=25`

Divide both sides by 10

`z=2.5`

That is the value of the known variable, z, in this equation. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
