Solve z=16+7/9-5-2/3

$$z = \frac{ 16+7 }{ 9 } \frac{ -5-2 }{ 3 }$$

Solve for z

$$z = -\frac{161}{27} = -5\frac{26}{27} \approx -5.962962963$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 16 and 7 to get 23.

$$z=\frac{23}{9}\times \frac{-5-2}{3}$$

Subtract 2 from -5 to get -7.

$$z=\frac{23}{9}\times \frac{-7}{3}$$

Fraction \frac{-7}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{7}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$z=\frac{23}{9}\left(-\frac{7}{3}\right)$$

Multiply \frac{23}{9} times -\frac{7}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$z=\frac{23\left(-7\right)}{9\times 3}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{23\left(-7\right)}{9\times 3}.

$$z=\frac{-161}{27}$$

Fraction \frac{-161}{27} can be rewritten as -\frac{161}{27} by extracting the negative sign.

$$z=-\frac{161}{27}$$

Assign z

$$z≔-\frac{161}{27}$$
