Question

study paths initial diagnostic: tx math bridge - stage 2 tx math bridge exponents and polynomials progress: the movement of the progress bar may be uneven because questions can be worth more or less (includi add: $(-15xz + 4xy) + (20xy - 9yz + 16xz)$ $24xy - 9yz + xz$ $5xy - 5yz + 16xz$ $16xyz$ $24x^2y^2 - 9yz + x^2z^2$

Explanation:

Step1: Remove parentheses

$-15xz + 4xy + 20xy - 9yz + 16xz$

Step2: Combine like terms for xy

$4xy + 20xy = 24xy$

Step3: Combine like terms for xz

$-15xz + 16xz = xz$

Step4: Keep the remaining term

$-9yz$

Step5: Combine all results

$24xy - 9yz + xz$

Answer:

A. 24xy − 9yz + xz
