Question

5z-8=-28 solve for x

Answer 1

Answer: The answer would be −4.

First add eight to both sides.

5z−8+8=−28+8

5z=−20

Now divide both sides by five.

5z divided by five = -20 divided by 5.

z=−4

Answer 2

z = -4

Explanation:

I'm going to assume you mean solve for z.

5z - 8 = -28

add 8 to both sides.

5z = -28 + 8

5z = -20

divide both sides by 5

z = -4
