Answer:

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

13<z+5

Step 1: Flip the equation.

z+5>13

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

z+5−5>13−5

z>8

Answer:

z>8

hello!

First of all, subtract 5 from both sides:-

13-5<z+5-5

13-5<z

8<z

Since 8 is less than z, z is greater than 8:-


\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{z > 8}}

Hence, all the numbers greater than 8 will make this inequality true.

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any explanation/clarification, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)
