Subtract: 2(k - 4) - 3(2k - 1) (1 point)

Question

O - 4k - 11

O - 6k - 18

O - 4k - 5

8k - 11

Answer 1

To subtract the expression 2(k - 4) - 3(2k - 1), we distribute the numbers outside the parentheses.

2(k - 4) becomes 2k - 8.

3(2k - 1) becomes 6k - 3.

Now we can subtract the two resulting expressions:

(2k - 8) - (6k - 3)

Expanding the parentheses, we get:

2k - 8 - 6k + 3

Now, combining like terms, we have:

-4k - 5

Therefore, the correct answer is -4k - 5.
