Combine like terms, do you know how to do that?

nah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what you do: 2x and +2x are the same, so add them. You get 4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For -2y, your like term is +2y, and when you add them you get 0y, so there is no y anymore

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5z and +3z = -2z.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The simplified expression is 4x - 2z
