Final answer:

The equation -14(2-5) = -14z + 70 has exactly one solution, which is z = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of solutions of the equation -14(2-5) = -14z + 70, we can simplify it by performing the arithmetic operations on both sides.

  1. -14(2-5) = -14z + 70
  2. -14(-3) = -14z + 70
  3. 42 = -14z + 70
  4. -28 = -14z
  5. z = 2

So, the equation has exactly one solution. The value of z that satisfies the equation is 2.
