Since you are not distributing at all, you can ignore the parenthesis :)
When ignoring the parenthesis your equation is
18x + 11 - 4x
Then just combine like terms :)
14x + 11
Your answer is C.
Hope this helped!
3x - y = 10 . . . (1)
-x + y = 12 . . . (2)
(1) + (2) => 2x = 22 => x = 22/2 = 11
From 2, -11 + y = 12 => y = 12 + 11 = 23
