1 answer

To add the polynomial expressions \( 5z - 2z^2 - 4z + 5 \) and \( 6z^2 + 3 - 7z \), we will first combine like terms from both expressions.

Starting with the first expression: \[ 5z - 2z^2 - 4z + 5 = -2z^2 + (5z - 4z) + 5 = -2z^2 + z + 5 \]

Now adding the second expression: \[ 6z^2 + 3 - 7z \]

Now we combine both: \[ (-2z^2 + z + 5) + (6z^2 - 7z + 3) \]

Next, we combine the like terms:

  • For \( z^2 \): \( -2z^2 + 6z^2 = 4z^2 \)
  • For \( z \): \( z - 7z = -6z \)
  • For the constant terms: \( 5 + 3 = 8 \)

Putting it all together, we get: \[ 4z^2 - 6z + 8 \]

Therefore, the answer is: 4z^2 - 6z + 8.
