\[7x - [2\left( x ^{2} -z\right) + 4x ^{2} -7z] + 6z ^{2}\]
OpenStudy (freckles):
ok so let's do any distributing needed
a(b+c)=ab+ac
OpenStudy (freckles):
let's begin with the 2(x^2-z) thing
OpenStudy (freckles):
can apply the distributive property there
OpenStudy (freckles):
\[2(x^2-z) \\ \text{ here we are just going \to multiply the two terms inside the ( ) \by 2 } \\ 2(x^2)-2(z)=2x^2-2z\]

so now you have
\[7x-[2x^2-2z+4x^2-7z]+6z^2\]
OpenStudy (freckles):
you have one more area to apply distributive property
OpenStudy (freckles):
do you see the - in front of the [ ]?
OpenStudy (freckles):
drop the [ ] and just change the sign to each term inside the [ ]
this is the same as multiplying by -1
OpenStudy (freckles):
I will let you try this part

So,
\[7x - [ (2x^{2} -2z)+4x ^{2} -7z] +6\]
OpenStudy (lizz123):
\[7x + [ -2x ^{2}+2z -4x ^{2}+7z]+6\]
OpenStudy (freckles):
yep
OpenStudy (freckles):
now combine like terms
OpenStudy (freckles):
\[+7x\\ -2x^2-4x^2=? \\ 2z+7z=? \\+ 6\]
