Question

Simplify 7y + 12 - 6 + (-8y)

Answer 1

Answer:

-1y + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this problem, all we'd need to do is just combine like terms.  In this case, your like terms are 7y and -8y & 12 and -6.  So just combine those terms and you have your answer.

7y - 8y = -1y

12 - 6 = 6

So what you have left is -1y + 6.  Hope this helped!
