you gather the like terms together.
if you have -3y +2x +6w -4 + 3y -5x +2w

you put the like terms together
so for the term y:

you have -3y +3y = 0

for x:

2x - 5x = -2x

for w:

6w + 2w = +8w

and you also had -4. if you put them together you get

0 -2x +8w -4
which is

-2x +8w -4

hope this helps
