Subtract: 2(k−4)−3(2k−1) .(1 point)

1 answer

Expanding the expression, we have:

2(k-4) - 3(2k-1)

= 2k - 8 - (6k - 3) (distributing the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses)

= 2k - 8 - 6k + 3 (removing parentheses)

= (2k - 6k) + (-8 + 3) (combining like terms)

= -4k - 5 (simplifying the expression further)

Therefore, the result is -4k - 5.
