To find the value of z, we need to consider the total distance traveled and the distance Mr. Smith drove.

Given that the total distance to the business meeting is 160 miles, and Mr. Smith drove the first z miles, we can set up an equation:

z + (160 - z) = 160

Simplifying the equation, we get:

z + 160 - z = 160

The z terms cancel out, leaving us with:

160 = 160

This equation is true for any value of z.

Therefore, there isn't a specific value for z that we can determine from the information given.

We can say that Mr. Smith drove some distance z, and Mr. Stein drove the remaining distance (160 - z). The specific values for z and (160 - z) can vary depending on the situation.
