Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(3 - (4x - 5) + 6\), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the negative sign in front of the parentheses: \[ 3 - 4x + 5 + 6 \]

2. Combine like terms:

   • Combine the constant terms: \(3 + 5 + 6 = 14\)
   • The term with \(x\) remains \(-4x\).

So, the simplified expression is: \[ -4x + 14 \]

The correct response is: −4x + 14 (negative 4 x plus 14).
