In this expression, you must first arrange all the elements, so that you could see where to unknowns, and where not. Then you need to add or subtract like terms. After this we get the result as below.
-7 - 8y + 1 - 2y = ?
-8y - 2y - 7 + 1 = -10y -6

The simplified form of the expression − 7 − 8 y + 1 − 2 y is − 6 − 10 y . We combined the like terms for both the constants and the variable terms to arrive at this result.
