Let's evaluate the expression step by step:
-
Start with \( 4(5 - 3) \): \[ 5 - 3 = 2 \] Then, multiply by 4: \[ 4 \times 2 = 8 \]
-
Next, calculate \( 4^3 \): \[ 4^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64 \]
-
Now, substitute these values into the original expression: \[ 8 + 64 - 6 \]
-
Simplify \( 8 + 64 \): \[ 8 + 64 = 72 \]
-
Finally, subtract 6: \[ 72 - 6 = 66 \]
So, the expression evaluates to 66. From the options provided (18, 4, 14), none of them match the result of 66.
