Question

Simplify the following expression.
x − 6y + 2z − 5x − 3y + 8z

Answer 1

10z-4x-9y

Answer 2

combine like terms. is that clear?

Answer 3

\[x-6y-2z-5x-3y+8z\] like terms are
\[x-5x\]
\[-6y-3y\]
\[-2z+8z\]

Answer 4

and
\[x-5x=-4x\]
\[-6y-3y=-9y\]
\[2z+8z=10z\]

Answer 5

so 'final answer ' is
\[-4x-9y+10z\]
