Let's simplify the expression step by step:
2(3v + 9) - 14 - 6(- 5v - 4)
= 6v + 18 - 14 + 30v + 24 (Distributive property)
= 6v + 30v + 18 + 24 - 14 (Rearranging terms)
= 36v + 28 (Combining like terms)
So, the simplified expression is 36v + 28, which corresponds to option D.
Simplify 2(3v + 9) - 14 - 6(- 5v - 4)
A. 106v + 98
B. - 6v - 13
C. - 24v - 20
D. 36v + 28
