To simplify the expression 2(3v+9) - 14 - 6(-5v-4), we distribute the 2 and the -6 to the terms in the parentheses:
2(3v+9) - 14 - 6(-5v-4) = 6v + 18 - 14 + 30v + 24
Then, we combine like terms:
= (6v + 30v) + (18 + 24 - 14)
= 36v + 28
So the simplified expression is 36v + 28.
Simplify 2(3v+9)−14−6(−5v−4).
