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

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

  2. Now, combine with the second polynomial: \[ z - 2z^2 + 5 + 6z^2 + 3 - 7z \]

  3. Group similar terms:

    • The \(z^2\) terms: \(-2z^2 + 6z^2 = 4z^2\)
    • The \(z\) terms: \(z - 7z = -6z\)
    • The constant terms: \(5 + 3 = 8\)
  4. Combine all the terms: \[ 4z^2 - 6z + 8 \]

Therefore, the sum of the two polynomial expressions is:

\[ \boxed{4z^2 - 6z + 8} \]

So, the correct response is: 4z2−6z+8.
