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!
