To simplify the expression \( \frac{9}{11}z - \frac{4}{11}z \), you can combine the terms since they have the same denominator and are like terms:
First, you take the coefficient of z from both terms and subtract them:
\( \frac{9}{11} - \frac{4}{11} = \frac{9-4}{11} \)
Then you solve the subtraction in the numerator:
\( \frac{5}{11} \)
So the simplified expression is:
\( \frac{5}{11}z \)
simplify 9/11 z - 4/11 z

Apologies for the confusion in my previous message. To combine like terms with variable z, we just work with the coefficients (the numbers in front of the variable z):
\( \frac{9}{11}z - \frac{4}{11}z \)
The coefficients are \( \frac{9}{11} \) and \( -\frac{4}{11} \), since both terms have z in them and the same denominator, we can subtract one coefficient from the other:
\( \frac{9}{11} - \frac{4}{11} = \frac{5}{11} \)
So when you subtract the second term from the first term, you get:
\( \frac{5}{11}z \)
That's the simplified form of the expression.
