-2 + 4 (6-n) - 14

1 answer

To simplify the expression \(-2 + 4(6 - n) - 14\), follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the 4 into the parentheses \(4(6 - n)\): \[ 4(6) - 4(n) = 24 - 4n \]

  2. Substitute the distributed result back into the expression: \[ -2 + 24 - 4n - 14 \]

  3. Combine the constant terms: \[ -2 + 24 - 14 = 8 \]

  4. Now, put it all together: \[ 8 - 4n \]

So, the simplified expression is: \[ 8 - 4n \]
