Evaluate the expression for j = –0.3, k = 14, and m = 9.

To evaluate the expression \( jk - k - m \) for \( j = -0.3 \), \( k = 14 \), and \( m = 9 \), we can substitute the given values into the expression.

First, calculate \( jk \):

\[ jk = (-0.3)(14) = -4.2 \]

Now substitute \( jk \), \( k \), and \( m \) into the expression:

\[ jk - k - m = -4.2 - 14 - 9 \]

Now, perform the operations step-by-step:

1. Calculate \( -4.2 - 14 \):

\[ -4.2 - 14 = -18.2 \]

2. Now, subtract \( 9 \):

\[ -18.2 - 9 = -27.2 \]

Thus, the final result of the expression \( jk - k - m \) is:

\[ \boxed{-27.2} \]
