Answer:

z = 10

Explanation:

First apply multiplication to inside the parenthesis:

2(z+5) = 2z + 10

5(z+ 2) = 5z + 10

10(z − 1) = 10z - 10 now write the full equation

2z + 10 + 5z + 10 = 10z - 10 add like terms

7z + 20 = 10z - 10 transfer like terms to the same side of the equation

20 + 10 = 10z - 7z

30 = 3z divide both sides by 3

10 = z
