can someone help solve square root problem.
3+(z-13 - (z+2 help plz.
Sure! I'd be happy to help you solve the square root problem.
To begin, let's re-write the expression and simplify it step by step:
3 + (z - 13) - (z + 2)
First, let's simplify the expression within the first set of parentheses:
3 + z - 13 - (z + 2)
Next, let's distribute the negative sign to the terms within the second set of parentheses:
3 + z - 13 - z - 2
Now, combine like terms by adding and subtracting:
(z - z) + (3 - 13 - 2)
Since z - z cancels out (zero pair), we are left with:
0 + (-12 - 2)
Next, combine -12 and -2:
-14
So the answer to the expression 3 + (z - 13) - (z + 2) is -14.
