Simplify the expression by combining like terms. -14 - 2x - 10 + 3y + 8x - 16y

a
-24 + 6x - 13y
b
4 + 6x - 13y
c
-24 + x - 8y
d
4 + x - 8y

B

-14 - 2x - 10 + 3y + 8x - 16y

Put everything in order so it is easy to combine like terms.

-2x + 8x + 3y - 16y - 14 - 10

Combine like terms. That means that you should add both x's together, add both y's together, and add both numbers together.

6x - 13y - 24

B is your answer! If you are confused on why B looks different, it is becuase the variables/numbers are in mixed up places. I hope this helps you!

what statement? is there an image?

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
