To simplify the expression, we'll distribute the coefficients.
2(k−4) becomes 2k−8.
3(2k−1) becomes 6k−3.
The expression now becomes:
2k−8−(6k−3)
Next, we'll distribute the - sign to both terms inside the parentheses:
2k−8−6k+3
Combine like terms:
(2k−6k)−(8−3)
-4k−5
Therefore, the simplified expression is -4k−5.
2(k−4) becomes 2k−8.
3(2k−1) becomes 6k−3.
The expression now becomes:
2k−8−(6k−3)
Next, we'll distribute the - sign to both terms inside the parentheses:
2k−8−6k+3
Combine like terms:
(2k−6k)−(8−3)
-4k−5
Therefore, the simplified expression is -4k−5.
