Question

Simplify: 6y + 5z + 8y – 3z

Answer 1

$6y + 5z +8y- 3z \\ 14y + 2z\\ \\ 2 (7 y + z)$

Answer 2

To simplify the given expression above, combine the terms that involve the same variables. That is, 
                         6y + 5z + 8y - 3z
                        (6y + 8y) + (5z - 3z)
Simplifying further the expression will give an answer of 14y + 2z. Therefore, the answer is 14y + 2z.
