To simplify the expression (14x^2 - 3x + 2.25) + (0.75x^2 + 2x - 14), we need to combine like terms and simplify.

First, let's combine the x^2 terms. 14x^2 + 0.75x^2 = 14.75x^2.

Next, let's combine the x terms. -3x + 2x = -x.

Finally, let's combine the constant terms. 2.25 - 14 = -11.75.

So, the simplified expression is 14.75x^2 - x - 11.75.

To simplify the expression (14x^2 - 3x + 2.25) + (0.75x^2 + 2x - 14), you can combine like terms.

First, let's combine the x^2 terms:

14x^2 + 0.75x^2 = 14.75x^2

Next, let's combine the x terms:

-3x + 2x = -1x = -x

Finally, let's combine the constant terms:

2.25 - 14 = -11.75

Putting it all together, the simplified expression is:

14.75x^2 - x - 11.75
