Answer :
The simplified expression is: [tex]-17s.[/tex]
To simplify the expression:
[tex]s - 4s - 2s - 6s - 2s - 4s,[/tex]
we first combine all the like terms. All the terms have the variable 's'. Let’s add the coefficients of 's':
[tex]1s - 4s - 2s - 6s - 2s - 4s.[/tex]
Now, let’s calculate each step-by-step:
Start with 1s:
[tex]1s.[/tex]
Subtract 4s:
[tex]1s - 4s = -3s.[/tex]
Subtract 2s:
[tex]-3s - 2s = -5s.[/tex]
Subtract 6s:
[tex]-5s - 6s = -11s.[/tex]
Subtract another 2s:
[tex]-11s - 2s = -13s.[/tex]
Finally, subtract 4s:
[tex]-13s - 4s = -17s.[/tex]
