Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 3 - (4x - 5) + 6 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute the negative sign in front of the parentheses: \[ 3 - 4x + 5 + 6 \]

2. Combine like terms: \[ (3 + 5 + 6) - 4x = 14 - 4x \]

So the simplified expression is: \[ -4x + 14 \]

The correct response among the options is: D. -4x + 14.
