Answer:
[tex]16[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Combine like terms
[tex]-14x + 16 + 6x + 2y[/tex]
[tex](-14x + 6x) + 2y + 16[/tex]
[tex]-8x + 2y + 16[/tex]
Step 2: The constant is the number without a variable.
[tex]-8x + 2y + 16[/tex]
The only number without a variable is number 16. So... the answer is 16.
