heat lost by Zn + heat gained by water = 0
[mass Zn x specific heat Zn x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] + [mass H2O x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] = 0
You have Tfinal as the only unknown. Solve for it.
[mass Zn x specific heat Zn x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] + [mass H2O x specific heat H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial)] = 0
