To simplify this expression, we need to distribute the numbers and simplify any like terms.
First, distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
2(3v+9) = 6v + 18
Next, distribute the -6 to the terms inside the second set of parentheses:
-6 (-5w - 4) = 30w + 24
Now, we can simplify the entire expression:
6v + 18 - 14 - 30w - 24
Combine the like terms:
(6v - 30w) + (18 - 14 - 24)
Combine the numbers:
(6v - 30w) - 20
Therefore, the simplified expression is 6v - 30w - 20.
Simplify 2 (3v+ 9) -14-6(—5w—4).
