To simplify the expression \(-2(9c - 2)\), you can distribute the \(-2\) to both terms inside the parentheses:
\[
-2(9c) + (-2)(-2)
\]
Calculating each term:
\[
-2 \cdot 9c = -18c
\]
\[
-2 \cdot -2 = 4
\]
Now combine the results:
\[
-18c + 4
\]
So, the simplified expression is:
\[
-18c + 4
\]
\[
-2(9c) + (-2)(-2)
\]
Calculating each term:
\[
-2 \cdot 9c = -18c
\]
\[
-2 \cdot -2 = 4
\]
Now combine the results:
\[
-18c + 4
\]
So, the simplified expression is:
\[
-18c + 4
