For this case we must simplify the following expression:

$8- \frac {4} {5} x-14-2x =$

We add similar terms:

$8-14- \frac {4} {5} x-2x =$

We take into account that:

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

$-6+ (\frac {-4-10} {5} x) =\\-6+ (\frac {-14} {5} x) =\\-6- \frac {14} {5} x$

Finally, the simplified expression is:

$-6- \frac {14} {5} x$

ANswer:

$-6- \frac {14} {5} x$
