To simplify this expression, we follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and then addition and subtraction (from left to right).

First, we simplify within the parentheses: 8x - 6
Next, we simplify the multiplication: 14 * (8x - 6)
Then, we simplify the division: 15 ÷ 5
Finally, we add or subtract the remaining terms: (14 * (8x - 6)) + 3.5x - (15 ÷ 5)

Therefore, the expression cannot be simplified further without knowing the specific value of x.

To simplify the given expression:

14(8x−6) + 3.5x − 15 ÷ 5

First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

8x - 6

Next, distribute 14 to 8x and -6:

112x - 84 + 3.5x - 15 ÷ 5

Now, simplify the division of 15 by 5:

112x - 84 + 3.5x - 3

Combine like terms:

112x + 3.5x - 84 - 3

115.5x - 87

The simplified expression is:

115.5x - 87
