ryan123345 · Answer

No but you got the first part right. 14 divided by 7 is 2 so
4 - 2 + 32

anonymous · Answer

but how do you combine the like terms?

anonymous · Answer

never mind i see what you did ok hang on

ryan123345 · Answer

you add letters with letters. 
you cant add something like 3z + 4y because they dont have the same letters

ryan123345 · Answer

but you can add 3z + 3z because the variables are the same. It will just give you 6z

anonymous · Answer

-5x + 4x =-1x
-6y + -3y =-9y
2z + 8z =10z

ryan123345 · Answer

great job! so now you just put it out as an equation so you would get
-x + -9y + 10z
