What is 4x+7z-x+5 - (4z) when combining like terms

When combining like terms the given expression turned to the simplest form of expression 3 (x+z) + 5

That is 4x+7z-x+5 - (4z) = 3 (x+z) + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is 4x+7z-x+5 - (4z)

To combining the given expression to solve it as below:

4x+7z-x+5 - (4z)

=4x+7z-x+5-4z

=4x-x+7z-4z+5 (combining the like terms of x and z)

=3x+3z+5 (here adding the like terms)

=3 (x+z) + 5 (taking the common factor)

Therefore 4x+7z-x+5 - (4z) = 3 (x+z) + 5

When combining like terms the given expression turned to the simplest form of expression 3 (x+z) + 5

That is 4x+7z-x+5 - (4z) = 3 (x+z) + 5
