in retrospect, i'm thinking we could divide by z - 9 to get the equation z - 7 = 2 and avoid that annoying quadratic. apparently when i did this problem i was concerned about z - 9 being 0, but now i see that that can't be the case, since the original fractions wouldn't be valid in the first place

z\neq 9.
Then \displaystyle \frac{z-7}{z-9}=\frac{2}{z-9}\Leftrightarrow \frac{z-7}{z-9}-\frac{2}{z-9}=0\Leftrightarrow \frac{z-9}{z-9}=0\Leftrightarrow 1=0, false!
