We can simplify this expression by combining the like terms. Here the likes terms are the z's and the x's.2z + 3z + 5z = 10z. (If we have 2 of something and add three of the same thing and then 5 of the same thing we will end up with 10 of that thing).Likewise we can combine the x's.6x - 2x = 4x. (You could think of this as 6x + - 2x if this helps with the idea of "combining".)Therefore we are able to simplify this expression as:2z + 3z + 5z + 4 + 6x - 2x = 10z + 4 + 4x.
-8z + 5z = -3z
It is: 5(z+5) = 5z+25
9z-5z = 30+z 3z = 30 z = 10
3-5z
