Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To solve for z, we can start by isolating the variable z by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation.

z/5 + 3 - 3 = 2 - 3

This simplifies to:

z/5 = -1

To further isolate z, we multiply both sides of the equation by 5:

5 * (z/5) = -1 * 5

This simplifies to:

z = -5

Therefore, the solution for z is -5.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To solve for z in the equation z/5 + 3 = 2, we need to isolate z on one side of the equation.

Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides to get rid of the constant term:
z/5 + 3 - 3 = 2 - 3
z/5 = -1

Step 2: To eliminate the fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator (5):
5 * (z/5) = 5 * (-1)
z = -5

Therefore, the solution to the equation z/5 + 3 = 2 is z = -5.
