Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(5 + -2z)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
5 + -2z = 0

Solving
5 + -2z = 0

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

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + -2z = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -2z = 0 + -5
-2z = 0 + -5

-2z = -5

Divide each side by '-2'.
z = 2.5

Simplifying
z = 2.5
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(1 + 2z)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + 2z = 0

Solving
1 + 2z = 0

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + 2z = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 2z = 0 + -1
2z = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
2z = -1

Divide each side by '2'.
z = -0.5

Simplifying
z = -0.5
Solution
z = {2.5, -0.5}
