Answer:

8x + 1/2 or 8x + 0.5

Explanation:

-6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3.25

u can either convert the fraction to a decimal or convert the decimal into a fraction, i'm going to do the latter

-6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3 1/4

rearrange to make it easier, don't need to do this i'm just doing this for the sake of it

-6x + 14x + 3 3/4 - 3 1/4

8x + 2/4, simplify this

8x + 1/2

The decimal way if u want:

-6x + 3 3/4 + 14x - 3.25

-6x + 3.75 + 14x - 3.25

-6x + 14x + 3.75 - 3.25

8x + 0.5
