Answer:

B: -4

Explanation:

In this type of situation, you should distribute -2 into the parentheses to get to this equation which is 6n - 8n - 14 + 4 = -2. Combine the two variable numbers together to get -2n and add 4 from -14 to get -10. To clean up this equation, your equation should be -2n - 10 = -2. Add 10 on both sides to get 8 on the right side and then divide -2 on both sides to get your final answer which is -4.
