6z-5<13
Since -5 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by adding 5 to both sides.
6z<5+13
Add 13 to 5 to get 18.
6z<18
Divide each term in the inequality by 6.
(6z)/(6)<(18)/(6)
Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common terms.
z<(18)/(6)
Simplify the right-hand side of the inequality by simplifying each term.
z<3

Please help me solve this equation:6z-5%3C13
6z - 5 < 13
Add 5 to each side of the inequality.
6z - 5 + 5 < 13 + 5
Combine like terms:
-5 + 5 = 0
13 + 5 = 18
Therefore:
6z < 18
Divide each side by 6.
6z/6 < 18/6
z < 3
