Answer:

z= (2)/(3)

Step-by-step explanation:
First make 1/3 have the same denominator as 4/9 so multiply the top and bottom of 1/3 by 3:

(1)/(3) * (3)/(3) = ( 3)/(9)
Now solve for z:

z - (4)/(9) + (3)/(9) = (5)/(9)

z - (1)/(9) = (5)/(9)

z= (6)/(9)

z= (2)/(3)
so

z= (2)/(3)

Hope this helps, cheers!
