Let’s solve each expression by combining like terms.
Like terms are terms that have the same variable (or no variable at all — those are constants).

We’ll go one by one:

---

1. 2r + 1 + (-4r) + 7

Group r terms: 2r + (-4r) = -2r
Group constants: 1 + 7 = 8
→ -2r + 8

---

2. 3z + 2 + (-5z) + 6

Group z terms: 3z + (-5z) = -2z
Group constants: 2 + 6 = 8
→ -2z + 8

---

3. -3z - z

This is -3z + (-1z) = -4z
→ -4z

---

4. -4y - 4 + (-3)

Only y term: -4y
Constants: -4 + (-3) = -7
→ -4y - 7

---

5. -2k + (-4k) + 5

k terms: -2k + (-4k) = -6k
Constant: +5
→ -6k + 5

---

6. 4t + 2 + (-3t) + 6

t terms: 4t + (-3t) = 1t → just t
Constants: 2 + 6 = 8
→ t + 8

---

7. 4z - (-3z)

Subtracting a negative is adding: 4z + 3z = 7z
→ 7z

---

8. -2k - (-5) + 1

-(-5) becomes +5
So: -2k + 5 + 1 = -2k + 6
→ -2k + 6

---

9. -4q - (-8q) + 10

-(-8q) becomes +8q
So: -4q + 8q = 4q
Plus 10 → 4q + 10

---

10. -4h + 3 + (-2h) + 3

h terms: -4h + (-2h) = -6h
Constants: 3 + 3 = 6
→ -6h + 6

---

Final Answer:
-2r + 8
-2z + 8
-4z
-4y - 7
-6k + 5
t + 8
7z
-2k + 6
4q + 10
-6h + 6
