PLEASE HELP! :)

Answer 1

-3z - (-z - 2)

In order to find the expression equivalent to our given expression, we have to simplify our given expression :)

-3z + z + 2

**Remember : the "z" and "2" become a positive because a negative times a negative is always a positive!**

Now, add like terms.

(-3z + z) + 2

Simplify.

-2z + 2

Look at our given answer choices.

Our answer is c. -2z + 2
