Simplify combining like terms: -z2+13z2-5z+7z3-15z.
Simplifying given expression
Given: -z2+13z2-5z+7z3-15z
On combining the like terms and simplifying we get
=7z3+(-z2+13z2)+(-5z–15z)=7z3+z2(-1+13)+z(-5–15)=7z3+z2(12)+z(-20)=7z3+12z2–20z
Hence, the required simplified form of given expression is 7z3+12z2–20z
