Question

Solve for z 15 points

Answer 1

Hey there!


`Step^1:` we have to
`simplify` your factions


`Like:`
`z - (4)/(9) - (1)/(3) = (5)/(9)`


`Replace` the
`subtraction` symbol to the
`additional` symbol since
`adding` is the opposite of
`subtraction` (since we changed the symbols the first two fractions numerators becomes a negative)

Our problem becomes:
`z + (-4)/(9) + (-1)/(3) = (5)/(9)`

Let's gather all of our "
`like-terms`" (if we have any in this question/problem)


`Like:`
`z + (-4)/(9) + (-1)/(3) \\ = (5)/(9)`

The step we just did when we
`solved` it gave us:
`z + (-7)/(9) = (5)/(9)`

For our last step: Let's
`Add` by the number/fraction
`(7)/(9)` on each of your sides that we're working with!


`Like:`
`z + (-7)/(9) + (7)/(9) (Cancel) \\ = (5)/(9) + (9)/(9) (Keep)`

Therefore, we have came to our
`answer` , which is:
`z = (4)/(3)`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
