Answer:

8y, 3y

-4x, -6x

-2, -9

Explanation:

first, move all the terms to one side of equation:

6x - 3y + 9 = 8y - 4x -2

0 = 8y - 4x - 2 - 6x + 3y - 9

to find the like terms, you locate the terms with the same variables

so, find and group all the x terms, all the y terms, and all the numerical terms:

8y, 3y

-4x, -6x

-2, -9
