To multiply the polynomial (6 + 8)(3b - 6), we first simplify (6 + 8):
\[
6 + 8 = 14
\]
Now we rewrite the expression as:
\[
14(3b - 6)
\]
Next, we distribute 14 to both terms in the parentheses:
\[
14 \cdot 3b - 14 \cdot 6
\]
Calculating each term, we get:
\[
42b - 84
\]
The resulting expression is \(42b - 84\).
None of the options provided directly match \(42b - 84\). However, it appears that there may be a misunderstanding or miscommunication regarding the options. Could you clarify or provide additional context for the answer choices?
