Subtract: 2 (k − 4) − 3 (2k − 1). (1 point)

Question

−4k − 5
8k − 11
−6k − 18
−4k − 11

Answer 1

To subtract 2 (k - 4) - 3 (2k - 1), we need to distribute the coefficients and combine like terms.

First, distribute the coefficient 2 to the terms inside the parentheses: 2k - 8.
Then distribute the coefficient -3 to the terms inside the parentheses: -6k + 3.

Now, we can combine like terms: 2k - 8 - 6k + 3.
Combine the k terms: (2k - 6k)
Combine the constant terms: (-8 + 3)

The final expression is -4k - 5.

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