\left(z-2\right)\times 7=\left(z+5\right)\times 6
Variable z cannot be equal to any of the values -5,2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(z-2\right)\left(z+5\right), the least common multiple of z+5,z-2.
7z-14=\left(z+5\right)\times 6
Use the distributive property to multiply z-2 by 7.
7z-14=6z+30
Use the distributive property to multiply z+5 by 6.
7z-14-6z=30
Subtract 6z from both sides.
z-14=30
Combine 7z and -6z to get z.
z=30+14
Add 14 to both sides.
z=44
Add 30 and 14 to get 44.
