Answer:

2x - y - 5z

Explanation:

Given

-[z - 3y - (3x - z - 2y) + 3z + 2y] - x =

Distribute the subtraction into the ()

-[z - 3y -3x + z + 2y + 3z + 2y] - x =

Move the terms around, keeping the sign with the term

-[z + z + 3z - 3y + 2y + 2y - 3x] - x =

Combine like terms

-[2z + 3z - 3y + 2y + 2y - 3x] - x =

-[5z - 3y + 2y + 2y - 3x] - x =

-[5z - y + 2y - 3x] - x =

-[5z + y - 3x] - x =

Distribute the subtraction into the []

-5z - y + 3x - x =

Combine like terms

- 5z - y + 2x

Reorder:

2x - y - 5z

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.
