-3(z-8) + 10 = -5
Solve the equation. Check the solution.

z=13

Step-by-step explanation:To check just plug it back in and it will fit.3(z−8)+10=−5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(z−8)+10=−5

(3)(z)+(3)(−8)+10=−5(Distribute)

3z+−24+10=−5

(3z)+(−24+10)=−5(Combine Like Terms)

3z+−14=−5

3z−14=−5

Step 2: Add 14 to both sides.

3z−14+14=−5+14

3z=9

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3z

3

=

9

3

z=3

answer: 2530
