Combining like terms, the expression simplifies to:

(8 - 9a) + (4a + 6.2)

Rearranging the terms, it becomes:

8 - 9a + 4a + 6.2

Combining like terms once more:

(8 + 6.2) + (-9a + 4a)

Simplifying the numbers:

14.2 + (-5a)

Therefore, the simplified expression is 14.2 - 5a.

Combining like terms, the expression simplifies to:

(-8x - 8x + 15x - x) + (12 + 15 - 22)

Combining like terms:

(-17x) + (5)

Therefore, the simplified expression is 5 - 17x.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's simplify the expression correctly:

To simplify -8x + 12 - 8x + 15 + 15x - 22 - x, first combine the x terms:

(-8x - 8x + 15x - x) = -16x + 14x - x = -3x

Now, simplify the constant terms:

(12 + 15 - 22) = 5

Combining the x and constant terms, we get:

-3x + 5

Therefore, the simplified expression is -3x + 5.
