need help solving the equation
5y-14+7y-20y
I see no equation
sorry for calling it an equation i mean i have to simplify the expression
add the y terms, then -14
-8y - 14
-8y-14
To solve the given equation: 5y - 14 + 7y - 20y, we'll start by combining like terms.
Combining the terms with the variable y:
5y + 7y - 20y = 12y - 20y = -8y
Combining the constant terms:
-14
So the simplified equation becomes:
-8y - 14
And that's the final solution.
