Step 1.1

Move $5 z$ .

$2 z^{3} + 3 z^{4} + 5 z$

Step 1.2

Reorder $2 z^{3}$ and $3 z^{4}$ .

$3 z^{4} + 2 z^{3} + 5 z$

Step 2

The leading term in a polynomial is the term with the highest degree.

$3 z^{4}$

Step 3

The leading coefficient in a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term.

$3$
