The question 3-23 in the "Discrete-Time Signal Processing - Second Edition" is:

enter image description here

and the solution is:

enter image description here

I cannot understand the solution. In the second row of the answer when I multiply (-4) with this denominator:

enter image description here

and then add the result to: enter image description here it gives a result different from the numerator of the first row. This multiplication must be equal to

enter image description here

Which is not. Is this solution true? If yes, can anyone help me to understand if?

You are right.

In the solution, the second line which performs the long division

$$ H(z) = -4 + \frac{ 5 + \frac{7}{2} z^{-1} }{1 - \frac{3}{4}z^{-1} + \frac{1}{8} z^{-1} } $$

is wrong and should be corrected as:

$$ H(z) = -4 + \frac{ 5 - 3 z^{-1} }{1 - \frac{3}{4}z^{-1} + \frac{1}{8} z^{-1} } .$$

However, the partial fraction expansion at the following third line is correct; indicating there was a typo in the second line. Finally, the impulse response (which is based on line three) is also correct.
