Simpilfied expression ​

Explanation:

Here as the like terms only are 4z and -2z so,

We simplify the like terms:

5 + 4z - 2z. [B.O.D.M.A.S rule] (subtraction only)

= 5 + 2z (Ans)

Answer 2

2z + 5

Explanation:

you have to combine like terms

subtract 4z - 2z and you get 2z

the number with the variable next to it goes first not the constant

2z + 5

the variable is z and the constant is 5 because it doesn't have variable next to it
