Answer:

z = 188

Explanation:

1. 10/13 = 8 - 2z/52 (simplify - 2z/52)

10/13 = 8 (- 1/26)*z

2. 10/13 = (- 1/26)*z + 8 (flip for ease in solving)

(- 1/26)*z + 8 = 10/13

3. (- 1/26)*z + 8 = 10/13 (inverse: subtract 8 from each side to isolate variable z)

(- 1/26)*z = 10/13 - (8*13)/(1*13) (common denominator needed for add/subtract)

(- 1/26)*z = - 94/13 (simplify)

4. (- 1/26)*z = - 94/13 (inverse: multiply both sides by -26/1 to isolate variable z)

z = 188
