Simplify by combining like terms - 6x equals 12 + 8y + 16x

The simplified expression is 22 x + 8 y + 12 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is : - 6x = 12 + 8y + 16 x

Like Terms: The terms which have the same coefficient variable in any given expression are called Like Terms.

In the given expression the only pair of like terms is (-6 x, and 16 x)

Solving the given expression, we get:

- 6x = 12 + 8y + 16 x

⇒12 + 8y + (16 x + 6 x) = 0

or, 12 + 8 y + 22 x = 0

Hence, the simplified expression is 22x + 8y + 12 = 0
