Let's solve each of the algebraic expressions step by step, simplifying and ordering them. We'll combine like terms and follow the order of operations.

1) (3m - 2) + 2 - m + 3



Step-by-step:
- Remove parentheses:
$ 3m - 2 + 2 - m + 3 $
- Combine like terms:
- $ 3m - m = 2m $
- $ -2 + 2 + 3 = 3 $
- Final answer:
$ \boxed{2m + 3} $

---

2) 8 + (-4y + 10) - 3y - 7



Step-by-step:
- Remove parentheses:
$ 8 - 4y + 10 - 3y - 7 $
- Combine like terms:
- $ -4y - 3y = -7y $
- $ 8 + 10 - 7 = 11 $
- Final answer:
$ \boxed{-7y + 11} $

---

3) 2(-6 - 2x) + 1 - 3x + 7



Step-by-step:
- Distribute the 2:
$ 2 \cdot (-6) = -12 $, $ 2 \cdot (-2x) = -4x $
So: $ -12 - 4x + 1 - 3x + 7 $
- Combine like terms:
- $ -4x - 3x = -7x $
- $ -12 + 1 + 7 = -4 $
- Final answer:
$ \boxed{-7x - 4} $

---

4) 12 - (20h - 1) - h + 2



Step-by-step:
- Distribute the negative sign:
$ 12 - 20h + 1 - h + 2 $
- Combine like terms:
- $ -20h - h = -21h $
- $ 12 + 1 + 2 = 15 $
- Final answer:
$ \boxed{-21h + 15} $

---

5) 7(m - 2) + 5(3 - 2m) + 15



Step-by-step:
- Distribute:
- $ 7m - 14 $
- $ 5 \cdot 3 = 15 $, $ 5 \cdot (-2m) = -10m $
So: $ 7m - 14 + 15 - 10m + 15 $
- Combine like terms:
- $ 7m - 10m = -3m $
- $ -14 + 15 + 15 = 16 $
- Final answer:
$ \boxed{-3m + 16} $

---

6) (5z - 16) + 4z - 13



Step-by-step:
- Remove parentheses:
$ 5z - 16 + 4z - 13 $
- Combine like terms:
- $ 5z + 4z = 9z $
- $ -16 - 13 = -29 $
- Final answer:
$ \boxed{9z - 29} $

---

7) (10y - 4) + (2 - y)(-2) + 3y



Step-by-step:
- First, simplify $ (2 - y)(-2) $:
- Distribute: $ 2 \cdot (-2) = -4 $, $ -y \cdot (-2) = 2y $
- So: $ -4 + 2y $
- Now plug back in:
$ 10y - 4 + (-4 + 2y) + 3y $
- Combine all:
- $ 10y + 2y + 3y = 15y $
- $ -4 - 4 = -8 $
- Final answer:
$ \boxed{15y - 8} $

---

8) 6(3 - 3x) - 2(9 - 3x) - 12



Step-by-step:
- Distribute:
- $ 6 \cdot 3 = 18 $, $ 6 \cdot (-3x) = -18x $
- $ -2 \cdot 9 = -18 $, $ -2 \cdot (-3x) = +6x $
- So: $ 18 - 18x - 18 + 6x - 12 $
- Combine like terms:
- $ -18x + 6x = -12x $
- $ 18 - 18 - 12 = -12 $
- Final answer:
$ \boxed{-12x - 12} $

---

9) (-2z - 2) - (2 - 4z) + 5



Step-by-step:
- Distribute the negative sign to the second group:
$ -2z - 2 - 2 + 4z + 5 $
- Combine like terms:
- $ -2z + 4z = 2z $
- $ -2 - 2 + 5 = 1 $
- Final answer:
$ \boxed{2z + 1} $

---

10) -4(m - 21) + 4m - 15 + 3m



Step-by-step:
- Distribute:
$ -4m + 84 $
- Now add the rest:
$ -4m + 84 + 4m - 15 + 3m $
- Combine like terms:
- $ -4m + 4m + 3m = 3m $
- $ 84 - 15 = 69 $
- Final answer:
$ \boxed{3m + 69} $

---

✔ Final Answers:



1) $ 2m + 3 $
2) $ -7y + 11 $
3) $ -7x - 4 $
4) $ -21h + 15 $
5) $ -3m + 16 $
6) $ 9z - 29 $
7) $ 15y - 8 $
8) $ -12x - 12 $
9) $ 2z + 1 $
10) $ 3m + 69 $
