How do you simplify by combining like terms with the numbers 6x+12+8y+16x

The like terms are combined and the simplified expression is 22x + 8y + 12

Solution:

Given that we have to simplify by combining like terms

Given expression is:

6x + 12 + 8y + 16x

Combining like terms means adding all the numbers with the same variables

Here in this given expression, 6x and 16x are terms with different coefficients and same variable "x"

Add the coefficients

6x + 16x + 8y + 12

22x + 8y + 12

Thus the like terms are combined and the expression is simplified
