Q u e s t i o n : 6
Subtract 3x - 4y - 7z from the sum of x - 3y + 2z and - 4x + 9y - 11z.
S o l u t i o n :
Let first add the expressions x -3y +2z and -4x +9y -11z. We get:
(x -3y +2z)+(-4x +9y -11z)
= x -3y +2z -4x +9y -11z
= x -4x -3y +9y +2z -11z Collectingliketerms
= -3x +6y -9z Combiningliketerms
Now, subtracting the expression 3x -4y -7z from the above sum; we get:
(-3x +6y -9z)-(3x -4y -7z) = -3x +6y -9z -3x +4y +7z
= -3x -3x +6y +4y -9z +7z Collectingliketerms
= -6x +10y -2z Combiningliketerms
Thus, the answer is -6x +10y -2z.

Q u e s t i o n : 6
Subtract 3x - 4y - 7z from the sum of x - 3y + 2z and - 4x + 9y - 11z.
S o l u t i o n :
Let first add the expressions x -3y +2z and -4x +9y -11z. We get:
(x -3y +2z)+(-4x +9y -11z)
= x -3y +2z -4x +9y -11z
= x -4x -3y +9y +2z -11z Collectingliketerms
= -3x +6y -9z Combiningliketerms
Now, subtracting the expression 3x -4y -7z from the above sum; we get:
(-3x +6y -9z)-(3x -4y -7z) = -3x +6y -9z -3x +4y +7z
= -3x -3x +6y +4y -9z +7z Collectingliketerms
= -6x +10y -2z Combiningliketerms
Thus, the answer is -6x +10y -2z.
