To simplify the given expression, we can combine like terms.
The terms that involve "a" are:
5/14 a + 7/14 a = (5 + 7)/14 a = 12/14 a = 6/7 a
The terms that involve "c" are:
-2/5 c + (-2/5 c) = -4/5 c
The term that involves "b" is:
1/8 b
The constant term is:
3/8
Putting it all together, the simplified expression is:
6/7 a + 1/8 b - 4/5 c + 3/8
Simplify 5/14 a +−2/5 c + 1/8 b −2/5 c + 3/8 + 7/14 a .(1 point)
