#14-3m-4n#

Given that

#R=11-2m, \ S=n+5# & #T=-m-3n+8#

#\therefore R-S+T#

#=11-2m-(n+5)+(-m-3n+8)#

#=11-2m-n-5-m-3n+8#

#=14-3m-4n#

#14-3m-4n#

#"Substitute the given values into the expression"#

#R-S+T#

#=11-2m-(n+5)+(-m-3n+8)#

#=11-2m-n-5-m-3n+8#

#=(11-5+8)+(-2m-m)+(-n-3n)#

#=14-3m-4n#
