Question

HELP PLEASE!!!
Solve for z.

z - 4/9 - 1/3 = 5/9.

Answer 1

Answer:
$z= \frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:
First make 1/3 have the same denominator as 4/9 so multiply the top and bottom of 1/3 by 3:
$\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{3} = \frac{ 3}{9}$
Now solve for z:
$z - \frac{4}{9} + \frac{3}{9} = \frac{5}{9}$
$z - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{5}{9}$
$z= \frac{6}{9}$
$z= \frac{2}{3}$
so
$z= \frac{2}{3}$

Hope this helps, cheers!
