z=7

Explanation:

Follow order of operations or BEMDAS (brackets, exponenets,multiplication,division,addition and subbtraction).

First solve the bracket:

3(2z-5)=2z+13
6z-15=2z+13

Now simplify and collect the different terms.

4z-15=13
4z=28

Now divide both sides by four and you have your answer.

(4z)/4=28/4

z=7
