\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Question:-}}}}

Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression:-

8t+1+(-4t)+(-6)


\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}

First, +(-4t) is the same as -4t:-

8t+1-4t+(-6)

Same with +(-6):-

8t+1-4t-6

Subtract the t's:-

4t+1-6

And finally,

4t-5

Good luck.
