Answer:

z = (17+4w)/(w-m)

Explanation:

w • (-4+ z) = mz + 17

Distribute

-4w +wz = mz+17

Subtract mz from each side

-4w +wz - mz = mz+17-mz

-4w +wz-mz = 17

Add 4w to each side

-4w +4w+wz-mz = 17+4w

wz-mz = 17+4w

Factor out z

z(w-m) = 17+4w

Divide by (w-m)

z(w-m)/(w-m) = (17+4w)/(w-m)

z = (17+4w)/(w-m)
