Basic Z-Transform Transfer Function

In summary, the conversation is about finding the transfer function for a digital filter described by a difference equation, and the questioner is unsure of how to do so due to the presence of a constant term. The respondent explains that the transfer function is the output per input, and compares it to an R-C divider with an initial charge on the capacitor.

Usually if there's no constant term (0.7) here, I can just rearrange in the form of Y(z)/X(z) to give me H(z). But I can't do that here. So what now?

You can do that.
The definition of a transfer function is output per input.
This is like an R-C divider with an initial charge on the C. The transfer function is the same irrespective of that charge.
