Answer:

-12r + 8s

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a subtraction sign in front of 16r, to combine it with 4r, it must be subtracted, resulting in -12 r (to subtract a greater number from a smaller number, subtract the smaller number from the greater number and make it negative). Since there is an addition sign in front of 3s, to combine it with 5s, the two must be added. 5s + 3s = 8s. When combined, the result is -12r + 8s.
