Question

Simplify the expression. –8z – 14z

A. –22z

B. 6

C. 6z

D. 22z

Answer 1

-8z -14z = -22z so choice A. is right 

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is

(A) -22z.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to simplify the following expression :

`E=-8z-14z~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

To simplify the given expression, we should combine the coefficients of z.

The simplification of expression (i) is as follows :

`E\\\\=-8z-14z\\\\=(-8-14)z\\\\=(-22)z\\\\=-22z.`

Thus, the required simplified form is -22z.

Option (A) is CORRECT.
