Solving for variable 'z'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -4z2 + -16 + z4 = 0 + -16

Reorder the terms:
16 + -16 + -4z2 + z4 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -4z2 + z4 = 0 + -16
-4z2 + z4 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 0 + -16 = -16
-4z2 + z4 = -16

The z term is -4z2.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4z2 + 4 + z4 = -16 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4z2 + z4 = -16 + 4

Combine like terms: -16 + 4 = -12
4 + -4z2 + z4 = -12

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(z2 + -2)(z2 + -2) = -12
