Solve.

5, left bracket, z, plus, 1, right bracket, equals, 50
5(z+1)=
50
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable z.

First, distribute the 5 to z+1:
5(z+1) = 50
5z + 5 = 50

Next, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
5z = 50 - 5
5z = 45

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 5:
z = 45/5
z = 9

Therefore, the solution to the equation is z = 9.
