To find \( M - N \), we first need to write out the expressions for \( M \) and \( N \):

\[ M = 10xy + 3y - 4 \] \[ N = 9y + 5xy + 14 \]

Now, we subtract \( N \) from \( M \):

\[ M - N = (10xy + 3y - 4) - (9y + 5xy + 14) \]

Distributing the negative sign in front of \( N \):

\[ M - N = 10xy + 3y - 4 - 9y - 5xy - 14 \]

Now, combine like terms:

  1. For \( xy \) terms: \[ 10xy - 5xy = 5xy \]

  2. For \( y \) terms: \[ 3y - 9y = -6y \]

  3. For constants: \[ -4 - 14 = -18 \]

Putting it all together, we have:

\[ M - N = 5xy - 6y - 18 \]

Therefore, the result is:

\[ \boxed{5xy - 6y - 18} \]

what is the answer

The answer to \( M - N \) is:

\[ \boxed{5xy - 6y - 18} \]

This matches the option you provided: \( 5xy - 6y - 18 \).
