Answer:

To solve the equation Z - 2/5=1/3, we need to get Z alone on one side of the equation.

First we add 2/5 to both sides of the equation to get

Z - 2/5 + 2/5 = 1/3 + 2/5

Z = 1/3 + 2/5

To combine the fractions on the right side of the equation, we need to find a common denominator.

The common denominator of 1/3 and 2/5 is 15

So we can convert 2/5 to 9/15

Z = 1/3 + 9/15

Now we can add the fractions

Z = 12/15 + 9/15

Z = 21/15

So the solution to the equation is Z = 21/15
