Hi.
Along many other alternatives you can try
In[119] := z /. {x_, y_, z_, w_} :> {x, y, z + w}
Out[119] = {{1, 4, 11}, {7, 8, 10}, {1, 2, 7}}
In[120] := ({#1[[1]], #1[[2]], #1[[3]] + #1[[4]]} &) /@ z
Out[120] = {{1, 4, 11}, {7, 8, 10}, {1, 2, 7}}
In[216]:=
{z[[#, 1]], z[[#, 2]], (Plus @@@ Reap[{Sow[#[[3]]], Sow[#[[4]]]} & /@
z][[1]])[[#]]} & /@ Range[3]
Out[216]=
{{1, 4, 11}, {7, 8, 10}, {1, 2, 7}}
However pay special attention to what Andrzej Kozlowski mentions you
in his post!
