Bot GPT 3.5 To simplify the expression, we need to distribute and combine like terms.
2(3v + 9) - 14 - 6(-5v - 4)
First, distribute 2 to (3v + 9) using the distributive property:
6v + 18 - 14 - 6(-5v - 4)
Next, distribute -6 to (-5v - 4):
6v + 18 - 14 + 30v + 24
Now, combine like terms:
(6v + 30v) + (18 + 24) - 14
36v + 42 - 14
Finally, combine remaining like terms:
36v + 28
