Question

solve: 5z - 2 - 2z < 13
z > 1
z < 5
z < 1
z > 5

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like - terms

$5z-2z - 2<13$ simplifies to $3z-2 < 13$.

Step2: Add 2 to both sides

$3z-2 + 2<13 + 2$, which gives $3z<15$.

Step3: Divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3z}{3}<\frac{15}{3}$, so $z < 5$.

Answer:

B. $z < 5$
