Question

solve for z 15 points

Answer 1

Hey there! 

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

$Like:$  $z - \frac{4}{9} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{9}$ 

$Replace$ 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: $z + \frac{-4}{9} + \frac{-1}{3} = \frac{5}{9}$

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

$Like:$ $z + \frac{-4}{9} + \frac{-1}{3} \\ = \frac{5}{9}$

The step we just did when we $solved$ it gave us: $z + \frac{-7}{9} = \frac{5}{9}$

For our last step:  Let's $Add$ by the number/fraction $\frac{7}{9}$ on each of your sides that we're working with! 

$Like:$ $z + \frac{-7}{9} + \frac{7}{9} (Cancel) \\ = \frac{5}{9} + \frac{9}{9} (Keep)$

Therefore, we have came to our $answer$ , which is: $z = \frac{4}{3}$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
