To simplify the expression 2(3v + 9) - 14 - 6(5w - 4), we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS) and then combine like terms.
First, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses: 3v + 9.
Next, we multiply 2 by the simplified expression inside the parentheses: 2(3v + 9) becomes 6v + 18.
Then, we simplify the expression inside the second set of parentheses: 5w - 4.
After that, we multiply 6 by this simplified expression: 6(5w - 4) becomes 30w - 24.
Now, let's put it all together:
6v + 18 - 14 - 30w + 24.
To combine like terms, we have -14 and 18 as constants, and 6v and -30w as like terms.
Combining the constants, -14 + 18 = 4.
Combining the like terms, 6v - 30w remains unchanged.
Putting it all together, the simplified expression is: 6v - 30w + 4.
Therefore, none of the provided answer choices (106v + 98, 36 + 28, -24v - 20, -6v - 13) match the simplified form 6v - 30w + 4.
Simply 2(3v+9)-14-6(5w-4) choose from answers 106v+98,36+28,-24v-20,-6v-13
