Answer 2

Hello! The question simplified is 4x + 14. This is because when you have a negative symbol in front of the numbers you need to distribute, you change the numbers inside into the opposites, and then multiply by -1. When you do this, you get 3 + 4x + 5 + 6. When you combine like terms, you get 4x + 14. The answer is B: 4x + 14.
