Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -12z + -5 + z2 = 0 + -5

Reorder the terms:
5 + -5 + -12z + z2 = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -12z + z2 = 0 + -5
-12z + z2 = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-12z + z2 = -5

The z term is -12z.  Take half its coefficient (-6).
Square it (36) and add it to both sides.

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-12z + 36 + z2 = -5 + 36

Reorder the terms:
36 + -12z + z2 = -5 + 36

Combine like terms: -5 + 36 = 31
36 + -12z + z2 = 31

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(z + -6)(z + -6) = 31

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(z + -6) equal to 5.567764363 and -5.567764363.

Subproblem 1
z + -6 = 5.567764363

Simplifying
z + -6 = 5.567764363

Reorder the terms:
-6 + z = 5.567764363

Solving
-6 + z = 5.567764363

Solving for variable 'z'.

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

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + z = 5.567764363 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + z = 5.567764363 + 6
z = 5.567764363 + 6

Combine like terms: 5.567764363 + 6 = 11.567764363
z = 11.567764363

Simplifying
z = 11.567764363

Subproblem 2
z + -6 = -5.567764363

Simplifying
z + -6 = -5.567764363
