Q. Solve for zz.\newline4=z9-4 = |z| - 9\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlinez=z = _____ or z=z = _____
  1. Understand and Isolate: Understand the equation and isolate the absolute value.\newlineWe have the equation 4=z9–4 = |z| − 9. To isolate the absolute value, we need to add 99 to both sides of the equation.\newline4+9=z9+9-4 + 9 = |z| − 9 + 9\newline5=z5 = |z|
  2. Solve for zz: Solve for zz.\newlineSince z=5|z| = 5, zz can be either 55 or 5-5 because the absolute value of both 55 and 5-5 is 55.\newlineSo, z=5z = 5 or zz00.
