Subtract: 2(k−4)−3(2k−1).(1 point)

1 answer

To subtract these terms, we'll distribute each of the terms inside the parentheses:

2(k-4) - 3(2k-1) = 2k - 8 - 6k + 3.

Next, we'll combine like terms by combining the k terms and the constants:

(2k - 6k) + (-8 + 3) = -4k - 5.

Therefore, 2(k-4) - 3(2k-1) = -4k - 5.
