To solve the equation \( \frac{2 z}{9}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{z+4} \), start by finding a common denominator for the left side. The least common denominator is 9. Rewrite the second term: \[ \frac{2 z}{9} + \frac{3}{9} = \frac{2}{z+4} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{2z + 3}{9} = \frac{2}{z+4} \] Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions: \[ (2z + 3)(z + 4) = 18 \] Expanding the left side: \[ 2z^2 + 8z + 3z + 12 = 18 \] Combine like terms: \[ 2z^2 + 11z + 12 = 18 \] Now, move 18 to the left side: \[ 2z^2 + 11z - 6 = 0 \] Next, use the quadratic formula \( z = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \) where \( a = 2, b = 11, c = -6 \): \[ z = \frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{11^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot (-6)}}{2 \cdot 2} \] Calculating the discriminant: \[ z = \frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{121 + 48}}{4} = \frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{169}}{4} = \frac{-11 \pm 13}{4} \] This gives two solutions: 1. \( z = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \) 2. \( z = \frac{-24}{4} = -6 \) Thus, the solutions are \( z = \frac{1}{2} \) and \( z = -6 \).
