Answer:   B.  x+(y+z)

=========================================

Explanation:

Subtracting a negative is the same as adding. Example: 2-(-3) = 2+3 = 5.

So (x+y)-(-z) is the same as x+y+z. We can group up terms inside parenthesis and it won't change the result. Meaning that x+y+z is the same as any of the following below

  • (x+y)+z
  • x+(y+z)

We could also swap the order of either x, y or z, and still have the same result.
