Answer:
25h+2
Step by step answer
Combining like terms.
start with h
21h-10h+14h=25h
16-9+5=2
so:
25h+2

21h-10h+16-9+14h+5

Collect the like terms. Like terms are numbers that have the same variable (like x, y, a, n...)

Like terms are:
21h, -10h, +14h

And

16, -9, +5

So add/ subtract the like terms

21h - 10h + 14h= 25 h

16 - 9 + 5 = 12

You can’t add 25h by 12 so your final answer is

25h+12
