To simplify the expression \(-6q + 7 - 2 + 4q - 6q + 7 - 2 + 4q\), we can first combine like terms.
1. Combine the \(q\) terms:
\(-6q + 4q - 6q + 4q\)
- Adding these gives:
\(-6q + 4q = -2q\)
\(-2q - 6q = -8q\)
\(-8q + 4q = -4q\)
So, the total for the \(q\) terms is \(-4q\).
2. Combine the constant terms:
\(7 - 2 + 7 - 2\)
- Adding these gives:
\(7 - 2 = 5\)
\(5 + 7 = 12\)
\(12 - 2 = 10\)
So, the total for the constant terms is \(10\).
Combining both results, we have:
\(-4q + 10\)
This can also be rearranged to:
\(10 - 4q\).
However, re-checking the answer choices provided, none matches \(10 - 4q\).
Let's simplify further by considering the form needed. It seems most closest to rearranging as:
**Final Expression:**
\(-4q + 10\) or \(10 - 4q\) <not listed>
### Checking Provided Options:
A. \(5 - 2q\)
B. \(2q - 5\)
C. \(5 + 2q\)
D. \(10 + 2q\)
Since none of these fit with the correct simplification \(-4q + 10\).
However, if there is any other way to interpret your question (or re-arrangement), please verify!
Thus, none of the options correctly simplifies the original expression.
Please check with any given details or arrangements that could have an option match.
