The letters are going to go together like 8x+-5x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it's going to be A?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well you have 2 choices right now A or D. We know that the first term is going to be 3x.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it's D!

ok, so lets start:
8x - 10y + 5z - 5x - 16y + 6z
add like terms...
3x - 26y + 11z
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you so much! you just make me love you more and more evertime I see you! love you<3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This is why: You match all the terms together and then add them. 8x+-5x=3x, -10y+-16y=-26y, and 5z+6z=11z therefore it is D. 3x-26y+11z
OpenStudy (anonymous):
alright thanks, love you<33333333
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 x - 26 y + 11 z
is the correct answer
