Question

5(2+4z)=85

Answer 1

Distribute the 5

Answer 2

distribute the 5 and try to isolate z

Answer 3

so 5 *2
5*4z

Answer 4

so what do you get

Answer 5

I am assuming that you will be solving for z.

First divide both sides by 5 and then subtract 2 from both sides.
Then divide what you've got by 4 again such that you isolate z.

Answer 6

10+20z=85

Answer 7

subtact 10 from each side

Answer 8

i thought you would add the parenthesis first, which would be 6z

Answer 9

Yes you do always do things inside the parenthesis first, however, you cannot this time because the 2 doesn't have a z attached to it.

Answer 10

i sm stuck at 10 +20z=85, can you break it down for me, thx

Answer 11

kwo8 is right

Answer 12

so after 10+20z=85
subtract 10
you get 20z=75
after that you have to isolate x

Answer 13

20z=75
divided each side by 20
you get what

Answer 14

i get 3.75

Answer 15

\[20z=75 \]

Answer 16

And you want to find z, you isolate z by dividing both sides by 20, and you should get an answer.
