Question

Hassan writes an algebraic expression with four terms. The x-term has a coefficient of 2, and the z-term has a coefficient of -1. The expression has a constant term less than zero. Which expression could he have written? 2 x + z + 5 minus 6 z squared
2 x minus z minus 5 + 2 z squared
Negative 2 x minus z minus 5 + 2 z squared
Negative 2 x + z minus 5 + 2 z
squared
Thank you in advice

Answer 1

$2x - z - 5 + {2z}^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of x is 2= 2x

the coefficient of z is -1 which is = (-1)z= -z

the constant term is less than zero which means that the constant term is a negative number.

so the answer becomes

$2x - z - 5 + {2} { (- 1)}^{2}$

which is =2x-z-3
