Perform the indicated operations in the order specified by PEMDAS (Order of Operations rules):
-3x - 2(3) - 2(-x) + 14. Multiply first, in two places:
-3x - 6 + 2x + 14 Combine like terms:
8 - x Answer
-3x - 2(3 - x) + 14
Distribute -2 inside the parentheses (-2 * 3) and (-2 * -x).
-3x - 6 + 2x + 14
Combine like terms (-3x + 2x) and (-6 + 14).
[tex] \boxed {-x + 8} [/tex] is your answer.
