Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:
\large{4z-(-3z)} what is the answer
To combine the like terms in the expression 4z - (-3z), we can rewrite the expression as:
4z + 3z
Combining the like terms, we get:
7z
So the answer is 7z.
To simplify the expression 4z - (-3z), we need to distribute the negative sign to -3z. This means that we change the sign of each term within the parentheses.
Thus, -(-3z) becomes +3z.
Therefore, the simplified expression becomes:
4z + 3z
To combine like terms, we add the coefficients of the same variable:
4z + 3z = 7z
So, the equivalent expression is 7z.
To combine like terms, you need to add or subtract the coefficients of the terms with the same variable. In this case, the like terms are 4z and -(-3z).
When you have a negative sign in front of parentheses, like -(-3z), you can remove the negative sign by changing the signs inside the parentheses. So, -(-3z) is equivalent to +3z.
Now, we can rewrite the expression without the negative sign:
4z - (-3z)
This can be simplified to:
4z + 3z
Combining the like terms, we add the coefficients:
7z
Therefore, the equivalent expression after combining like terms is 7z.
