### Instruction: help me answer this question Find the value of z in the following equation: 5(2z + 3) - 10 = 35, think step by step
### Assistant: To find the value of z, we first distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses, which gives us 10z + 15 - 10 = 35. Then, we simplify the expression on the left side of the equation to get 10z + 5 = 35. Next, we subtract 5 from both sides to get 10z = 30. Finally, we divide both sides by 10 to get z = 3. , The answer is The value of z is 3.
