Answer:

Sry its long but if your to lazy to look thru it here is the answer= z = {-7, 8}

Explanation:

Simplifying

z2 + -1z + -56 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-56 + -1z + z2 = 0

Solving:

-56 + -1z + z2 = 0

Solving for variable 'z'.

Factor a trinomial.

(-7 + -1z)(8 + -1z) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-7 + -1z)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying:

-7 + -1z = 0

Solving:

-7 + -1z = 0

Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '7' to each side of the equation.

-7 + 7 + -1z = 0 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0

0 + -1z = 0 + 7

-1z = 0 + 7

Combine like terms: 0 + 7 = 7

-1z = 7

Divide each side by '-1'.

z = -7

Simplifying:

z = -7

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(8 + -1z)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying:

8 + -1z = 0

Solving:

8 + -1z = 0

Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + -1z = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + -1z = 0 + -8

-1z = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8

-1z = -8

Divide each side by '-1'.

z = 8

Simplifying:

z = 8

Solution

z = {-7, 8}
