a) 3x−2y+5z
b) −3x+2y−5z
c) −3x−2y−5z
d) 3x+2y+5z

Answer 1

To distribute negative one from each of the negative numbers in the expression -3x + 2y - 5z, we change the sign of each term to obtain 3x - 2y + 5z.

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute negative one from each of the negative numbers, we will change the sign of each term in the expression.

The expression in part B is: -3x + 2y - 5z

When we distribute negative one, we obtain: -(-3x) + (-2y) + (-5z) = 3x - 2y + 5z
