To simplify the expression \(14 + 6x + 9x - 2x\), follow these steps:
1. Combine the like terms (terms that have \(x\) in them):
- \(6x + 9x - 2x\)
- First, add \(6x + 9x = 15x\).
- Then, subtract \(2x\) from \(15x\): \(15x - 2x = 13x\).
2. Now, include the constant term (\(14\)):
- So the expression becomes \(14 + 13x\).
The simplified expression is:
\[
13x + 14
\]
