To simplify 2a - 4b + 7 + 8a + 6b - 2, we can combine like terms.
Combining like terms with variable "a" gives us:
2a + 8a = 10a
Combining like terms with variable "b" gives us:
-4b + 6b = 2b
Combining the constant terms gives us:
7 - 2 = 5
Therefore, the simplified expression is 10a + 2b + 5, which corresponds to answer choice D.
