To subtract 2(k−4)−3(2k−1), we need to distribute the coefficients:

2(k−4) = 2k - 8
3(2k−1) = 6k - 3

Now we can subtract the two expressions:

(2k - 8) - (6k - 3)

To do this, we can distribute the negative sign inside the second parentheses:

2k - 8 - 6k + 3

Combine the like terms:

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

Therefore, the correct response is: -4k - 5
