Question

-8a + 2b - 14c - a + 3b + 4c

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms for \(a\)

\(-8a - a = (-8 - 1)a = -9a\)

Step2: Combine like terms for \(b\)

\(2b + 3b = (2 + 3)b = 5b\)

Step3: Combine like terms for \(c\)

\(-14c + 4c = (-14 + 4)c = -10c\)

Step4: Combine all results

\(-9a + 5b - 10c\)

Answer:

\(-9a + 5b - 10c\)
