-1
6

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( \frac{3(6 - 14)}{-4} \), we will follow the steps below:

1. Calculate the expression in the parentheses: \[ 6 - 14 = -8 \]

2. Substitute the result back into the expression: \[ \frac{3(-8)}{-4} \]

3. Multiply the numbers in the numerator: \[ 3 \times -8 = -24 \]

4. Now the expression becomes: \[ \frac{-24}{-4} \]

5. Divide -24 by -4: \[ \frac{-24}{-4} = 6 \]

Thus, the value of the expression is \( \boxed{6} \).
