Step 1: Factor all the numerators and denominators:
z2 + 2z - 35 = (z + 7)(z - 5)
-z2 - 7z + 18 = -(z2 + 7z - 18) = -(z + 9)(z - 2)
Step 2: Cancel terms that are the same on top and bottom to simplify:
What's left on top is -(z + 9) and what's left on bottom is (z + 7) so the final answer is:
-(z + 9)/(z + 7)
