Answer:
1. 8y - 9y = -1y
( 8 - 9 = -1)
3. 8a - 6 +a - 1
( i have showed the like terms here)
8a - 1a= 7a
-6 - 1 = -7
7a - 7
5. -x - 2 + 15x
( i have showed the like terms here)
-x + 15x = 14x
(x = 1)
14x + 2
7. 8d - 4 - d - 2
( i have showed the like terms here)
8d - d = 7d
-4 -2 = -6
7d - 6
8. 9a + 8 - 2a - 3 - 5a
( i have showed the like terms here)
9a - 2a - 5a = 2a
8 - 3= 5
2a + 5
