Answer: 28-6x
This is the same as -6x+28
===============================
To get that answer, you multiply each term inside the parenthesis by the outer term 2
14 * 2 = 28
-3x * 2 = -6x
So,
(14-3x)*2 = 14*2 - 3x*2 = 28-6x

The distribution rule says
a(b-c) = ab-ac
which is the same as saying
(b-c)a = ba-ca
We can flip things around because we can multiply in any order.
Answer:
you have a cubic function right? what are you trying to do?? find intercepts?? need a little more information
We know that 172 of them were wood, so the rest are metal. To find that number we do:
276 - 172 = 104 metal pins.
To find the percentage that they were metal, take the number of metal pins and divide by the total number of pins:
104/276 is about 0.3768.
Multiply this by 100:
37.68
So, the percent of metal pins is 37.68%.
