5(2+4z)=85

pooja195 (pooja195):

Are we solving for z?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

pooja195 (pooja195):

Start with this \[\huge~\rm~(5)(2)+(5)(4z)=85(Distribute) \]

pooja195 (pooja195):

Whats 5 x 2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge~\rm~10+(5)(4z)=85(Distribute)\] whats 5 x 4 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[ \huge~\rm~10+20z=85\] any ideas on what to do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you add 10+20z

pooja195 (pooja195):

Since we are solving for z we need to subtract 10 from both sides \[\huge~\rm~10-10+20z=85+10\]

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge~\rm~20z=85+10=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

95?

pooja195 (pooja195):

wait we were supposed to subtract 10 >.< sorry!! 85-10=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

75

pooja195 (pooja195):

ok 20z=75 divide both sides by 20 20/20=1 right so that leaves use with z z=75/20 what is 75/20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.75

pooja195 (pooja195):

Yep OR we can also say z=15/4
