Starting with the expression 5(7x - 2) - 14x + 4, we can simplify it step by step:
First, we distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parentheses:
5 * 7x = 35x
5 * -2 = -10
So now we have 35x - 10 - 14x + 4.
Next, we combine like terms:
35x - 14x = 21x
-10 + 4 = -6
So the expression simplifies to 21x - 6.
Therefore, the simplified form of 5(7x - 2) - 14x + 4 is 21x - 6.
