Step-by-Step Solution

First, we open the parentheses and change the sign accordingly.

Since there are only positive numbers inside the parentheses, multiplying by the minus will give us negative numbers:

10y5y3z= 10y-5y-3z=

Now we group the Y factors:

10y5y=5y 10y-5y=5y

Now we obtain:

5y3z 5y-3z

Answer
