(14x + 6) -(8x -3) Remove the parentheses and distribute the negative sign to both terms in the second expression. The linear expression becomes

1 answer

To remove the parentheses and distribute the negative sign to both terms in the second expression, we start with the original expression:

\[ (14x + 6) - (8x - 3) \]

Now, distribute the negative sign to the terms in the second expression:

\[ 14x + 6 - 8x + 3 \]

Next, combine the like terms:

\[ (14x - 8x) + (6 + 3) = 6x + 9 \]

So, the linear expression becomes:

\[ 6x + 9 \]
