First: get rid of parenthesis > distribute -(-8x) into 8x because two negatives become a positive:
= 3x - 5y + 8x + 14y
Second: combine like terms > x-variables together and y-variables together:
= 3x + 8x - 5y + 14y
= 11x + 9y

= 3x - 5y + 8x + 14y
= 3x + 8x - 5y + 14y
= (3+8)x + (-5+14)y
= 11x + 9y.

That's not a question. Or even a sentence.
