3z-5%2B2z=25-5z Start with the given equation.


-5%2B5z=25-5z Combine like terms on the left side.


5z=25-5z%2B5 Add 5 to both sides.


5z%2B5z=25%2B5 Add 5z to both sides.


10z=25%2B5 Combine like terms on the left side.


10z=30 Combine like terms on the right side.


z=%2830%29%2F%2810%29 Divide both sides by 10 to isolate z.


z=3 Reduce.
