To combine like terms when adding two expressions, you’ll want to identify and group the similar terms.

For example, if you have:

– Expression One: ( 4y + 5 – 6 )

– Expression Two: ( -8 + 8y + 3 )

Now, let’s break it down step by step:

1. Combine constant terms: ( 5 – 6 = -1 ) and ( -8 + 3 = -5 )
2. Combine (y) terms: ( 4y + 8y = 12y )

Putting it together, you get:

(-1 – 5 + 12y)

Ultimately:

– Constant term: ( -1 – 5 = -6 )

– (y) term: (12y)

The sum of both expressions gives you (-6 + 12y).

Based on the answer options you provided and the process, the identified terms would be ( -6 ) for the constant and ( 12y ) for (y).

So, the answer would be -6 and 12y. Check the extended services page if you would like more help on similar problems!
