1 answer

To simplify the expression 2(3v + 9) - 14 - 6(-5v - 4), we can follow the order of operations:

First, let's simplify the expression inside each set of parentheses:

3v + 9 remains the same.

-5v - 4 can be rewritten as -5v - 4.

Now, let's simplify the expression further:

2(3v + 9) can be rewritten as 6v + 18.

-6(-5v - 4) can be rewritten as 30v + 24.

Now, let's put all the simplified terms together:

6v + 18 - 14 - 30v - 24

Next, let's combine like terms:

(6v - 30v) + (18 - 14 - 24)

-24v - 20

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression 2(3v + 9) - 14 - 6(-5v - 4) is -24v - 20.
