To add the polynomial expressions \(5z - 2z^2 - 4z + 5\) and \(6z^2 + 3 - 7z\), we first simplify each expression before combining them.

  1. Simplify the first polynomial: \[ 5z - 4z - 2z^2 + 5 = (5z - 4z) + (-2z^2) + 5 = z - 2z^2 + 5 \] Rearranging gives: \[ -2z^2 + z + 5 \]

  2. Combine with the second polynomial: \[ (-2z^2 + z + 5) + (6z^2 - 7z + 3) \]

  3. Combine like terms:

    • For \(z^2\) terms: \(-2z^2 + 6z^2 = 4z^2\)
    • For \(z\) terms: \(z - 7z = -6z\)
    • For constant terms: \(5 + 3 = 8\)
  4. Final result: \[ 4z^2 - 6z + 8 \]
