To solve the equation \( 8z - 5 = 3z + 50 \), follow these steps:
Isolate the variable on one side: Start by getting all terms involving \( z \) on one side and constant terms on the other side.
\[ 8z - 3z = 50 + 5 \]
Simplify both sides:
\[ 5z = 55 \]
Solve for \( z \): Divide both sides by 5.
\[ z = \frac{55}{5} \]
\[ z = 11 \]
Thus, the solution is \( z = 11 \).
