Question 658943
{{{5z+2=z-3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5z=z-3-2}}} Subtract {{{2}}} from both sides.



{{{5z-z=-3-2}}} Subtract {{{z}}} from both sides.



{{{4z=-3-2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4z=-5}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{z=(-5)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{4}}} to isolate {{{z}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{z=-5/4}}}
